RE: properties files


Sure - I will throw a test for this one together.

Mohan, can you give us an update on how building the 3.4 branch from head under mingw works? After reading the last thread regarding building your 3.4 experimental release, I am hoping that the build changes have been committed...

thanks,

bradley

After looking into JRE SUN puts the property files into $prefix/lib 
which is really weird for LSB conformant systems.

Is everybody happy when we use $prefix/share/java ?
