Description Bolke de Bruin 2005-04-27 05:50:34 UTC

When specifying

-B XXX

to java-config where XXX is an invalid package (ie. unknown), java-config clears out /etc/env.d/21java-classpath, so that a next try to use -B, will fail with "invalid classpath in /etc/env.d/21java-classpath"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. java-config -B unknown
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Classpath should stay

Comment 1 Andrew Yates 2006-08-01 18:03:40 UTC

The -B flag has been deprecated with the new java-config, so I don't think it's still an issue.

As mentioned, -B is deprecated. Marking WONTFIX.
