Since it looks like most people don't read the docs and intuitively expect that system VM == build VM, we could make the system VM to be tried before the defaults installed with java-config. User-specified jdk.conf in /etc would still have higher priority, so that people who cared enough to set their details would be not surprised by the change. So the order would be: 1) /etc/java-config-2/build/jdk.conf 2) current system vm 3) /usr/share/java-config-2/config/jdk-defaults.conf
Implemented in r8167.
Released in 2.1.11. We should update documentation though.
Doc handled in bug 325885, closing.
