I think it's a mistake to put things other than libraries in lib, from hier(7): lib/ archive libraries ... libdata/ misc. utility data files Tcl stuff should be in libdata or share, so should Java stuff. Lib is definately /not/ the right place for them, its just the de-facto standard amongst Linux weenies. -- Brian Cully You think you're queer? I've got news for you: we're all queer. If you get befuddled by a middle class morality, shut it out. Shut it out.... Is there an absolute morality? I don't think so. You think so? Act that way. -- Glengarry Glen Ross To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
