[gentoo-user] java lib/ext question

[Roy Wright]

Howdy,

I'm attempting to install the postgis plugin for openjump and it says  
to copy the driver jar file to {jre}/lib/ext.  This does not feel like  
the correct approach given how the java jdks are installed on gentoo (/ 
opt/sun-jdk-n.n.n.n).  I'd expect any changes within the jdk directory  
structure would be lost with the first version bump.

Ideally I would expect a symbolic link to a slot based location for  
lib/ext, but am not even seeing a default lib/ext directory.

So is there a best practice for handling system vm extensions?

Is there a wiki or documentation for working with gentoo's java  
environment?

TIA,
Roy
