Description Dennis Schridde 2010-12-02 22:40:59 UTC

When the system-vm is not set, /usr/bin/java currently outputs:
---
basename: missing operand
Try `basename --help' for more information.
 * Home for VM '' does not exist:
 * Invalid System VM:
---

The mention of "basename" is confusing, and it does not clearly say that there is *NO* system-vm, or better: How to set it.

Reproducible: Always

P.S: This is with dev-java/java-config-2.1.11-r1
