I think you're taking the word "share" beyond it's original scope of what people meant by "architecture-independent". JARs and classes are _libraries_, hence go under /lib. The same with Perl modules and Python. True-they may be architecture-independent, but /share is not meant for application libraries, it's used for man pages, info pages, config files, templates, dictionaries, timezone stuff, et al. Libraries belong in /lib. Perl and Python and PHP libraries, which are also architecture-neutral, are also done under lib, in their respective directories; I see no reason why we should change this behavior to confuse the situation with Java. -- Dylan Carlson [absinthe@pobox.com] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
