Hi,
I'm working on the Debian package for hadoop (the first version is already in
the new queue for Debian unstable).
Now I stumpled about $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar in the classpath. Since Debian
supports different JAVA runtimes, it's not that easy to know, which one the
user currently uses and therefor I'd would make things easier if this jar
would not be necessary.
From searching and inspecting the SVN history I got the impression, that this
is an ancient legacy that's not necessary (anymore)?
I don't think hadoop core/hdf/maperd needs it. The only place where it
would be needed is JSP->java->binary work, but as the JSPs are
precompiled you can probably get away without it. Just add tests for all
the JSPs to make sure they work.
