Exactly. Or rather I use /usr/local/java as the link to
/usr/local/jsdkxxx.

Note a good way to setup the shell environment in X so you can run java
and javac on the commandline is to start the session manager through a
login shell by changing:
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start
to read:
exec -l $SHELL -c "$STARTUP"
People coming from RedHat will definately want to do this. Otherwise
shells don't initialize their environment by sourcing /etc/profile and
thus your exports will not be visible.
