Hi,

I wondered, why some java service didn't start anymore on my development machine. Found out, that it had configured JAVA_HOME to point to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre. I should probably have configured it to point to /usr/lib/jvm/default-java, but users make errors sometimes.

So I propose that there should be some kind of transition for noobs like me, having a symlink pointing to the new location and a big NEWS entry.

Regards, Thomas Koch
