Hello folks. I've been sitting around playing with these wonderful
new kernels, not having a single oops or anything in many moons.
Great job! I just have one little thing that should be fixed so
people don't get too confused. The default location for the Java
interpreter/appletviewer has changed in binfmt_java.c, but not in
Documentation/java.txt. The docs still indicate that if the
interpreter is living in /usr/local/java/bin that things will work. I
know for a fact that this is not so, since that is indeed where my
java lives. Changing the behavior is easy, but the docs should
probably be accurate... Oh, one more slightly interesting thing about
the java support. A symlink from /usr/local/java/bin/java to
/usr/bin/java won't work. The JDK must (I assume) be compiled with
the hard paths in it. My binary distribution barfs when run from
anywhere other than /usr/local/java/bin. This should also probably be
in the documentation.

Thanks,
Ed
