Bug Description

Binary package hint: java-common

The "/usr/share/java-common/jvm-find.sh" file has been removed from the java-common package. How should my scripts find JAVA_HOME for the default JVM now?

Hi

default-jre-headless provides a default-java symlink in /usr/lib/jvm which is the "default java" for Debian and Ubuntu systems. Alternatively you can probably use a mix of readlink -f + dirname to find the JAVA_HOME for the current system (assuming there is no other java in path).

There has also been an interest in creating a sensible-java command[1], which might be useful for you. However it has not been implemented, there is a mail thread on it on the debian-java list[2].
