Re: Java policy

[Per Bothner <per@bothner.com>]

gcj also by default searches in jars in /usr/share/java/ext.
The policy could add in 2.4:

 Java libraries packages *may* add a sympolic link from
 /usr/share/java/ext/packagename[-extraname].jar to
 /usr/share/java/packagename[-extraname]-fullversion.jar.

In 2.1 Virtual machines:

 If a virtual machine has a mechanism to search the the jars
 of one or more "extensions directories", it *should* use
 /usr/share/java/ext as the default such directory.

In 2.2 Java compilers:

 If a Java compiler has a mechanism to search the the jars
 of one or more "extensions directories", it *should* use
 /usr/share/java/ext as the default such directory.
