Tell me one other library or executeable that goes into share, under
FreeBSD, then I might consider this. The java files he's talking about
aren't docs, aren't templates of any kind, they're libs (java type libs,
they don't look like C libs, that's .jar and .zip files) and
executeables (.class files). Heck, you probably know that already (I'm
new to the java list) but nothing else I see under share seems to
be the same type of thing.
According to hier(7), /usr/share is:
share/ architecture-independent ascii text files
and it goes on to say that, if this is under local, the same rules
apply, just that it's locally installed stuff. Well, the class files,
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).
