> On mac JAVA_HOME is detected by using the following code:
> {code}
> if [ -z "$JAVA_VERSION" ] ; then
> JAVA_VERSION="CurrentJDK"
> else
> echo "Using Java version: $JAVA_VERSION"
> fi
> if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" ] ; then
>
> JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/${JAVA_VERSION}/Home
> fi
> {code}
> But this does not work in collaboration with Using "Java preferences" to
> change the actual java version to use as "CurrentJDK" does not change once
> you update the "java applications" order.
> There is an alternative (at least on Leopard) for determining current java
> home that is based on Java Preferences by using an apple provided script. So,
> as a replacement fo rthe code above the following could be used.
> {code}
> if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" ] ; then
> JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home | tail -1`
> fi
> {code}
> Could also be taht this is teh first attempt and if fails use the current way
> of determining home.
