Description george 2002-07-11 08:46:20 UTC

I've just discovered java-config - wish I'd read those docs sooner.

I'm using blackdown-jre-1.3.1 and java-config sets up its stuff fine but...

The manpages are under opt/blackdown-jre-1.3.1/man but these (obviously) aren't
found by man without an entry in MANPATH.

It would be nice for java-config to do this.

I don't know about any other jres so I don't know if this is generally applicable.

TIA,
George.

This does not apply to the IBM JDK nor JRE. I have fixed it for the Blackdown
JDK and JREs now. Dunno about Sun as I don't have them installed currently.
