BIRCH - Special considerations
for Java packages
Virtually all Java applications are distributed as packages, so that
the rules are pretty much the same for Java packages as for other
packages. There are just a few points to make:
- Install Java packages in the $local/java directory
- Every Java application needs to be run from a wrapper script in
$local/script. Usually, all the wrapper does is to set the $CLASSPATH
and call the .jar file
