All Java class libraries > *are* by definition architecture independant. In answer to this, I'll restore the part of my post you cut: ... jar files, zip files, etc, aren't ascii. The only way to stretch this is claiming its architecturally independent, but so is tcl (establishing a precedent for /usr/local/lib, for arch-independent stuff) ... They aren't ascii files, are they? We're talking .jar, .zip, and .class files. The sample files aren't even needed. If you want to move the sample files to share, I wouldn't mind that a bit, but code doesn't belong in share. > ..... > > > According to hier(7), /usr/share is: > > > > share/ architecture-independent ascii text files > > The reason the authors said 'ascii here is for the most part they are > the only architecture independant files. > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
