That's actually not true. What you lose, is the benefit of not having |
| 7 |
the current VM tied to the environment. Specifically, if you don't have |
| 8 |
a user VM set... JAVA_HOME would point at the system VM... but if at |
| 9 |
some point, you set a user VM, JAVA_HOME would still point to the system |
| 10 |
VM until you source whichever file you add that snippet to. |

It is extremely important to note that if you decide to use the snippet |
| 13 |
for root, then java-config-1 has no way of knowing what the generation-1 |
| 14 |
VM is, because it uses JAVA_HOME to determine this. |
