True, and java has been local on Solaris for at least a year. But since
the /usr/bin/java symlink on linux was broken until mid-semester, and
older linux machines don't have Java, we'd have to fall back to locker
software for the machines that don't have local copies.
I took the lazy path: make the smallest acceptable change to the launch
script. I have no serious objection to ambitious shell code that probes
various versions of Java and chooses the best version it can find... but
I'm not motivated to write that code myself.
