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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
