-------------------------------------------------------
[~busbey] If the update is okay, does this change have to be voted up to be
committed? Could you please let me know if I've got to do something? I plan to
look at other beginner issues after this one is committed. Thank you.

> The quickstart guide currently instructs folks to set JAVA_HOME, but to the
> wrong place
> {code}
> The JAVA_HOME variable should be set to a directory which contains the
> executable file bin/java. Most modern Linux operating systems provide a
> mechanism, such as /usr/bin/alternatives on RHEL or CentOS, for transparently
> switching between versions of executables such as Java. In this case, you can
> set JAVA_HOME to the directory containing the symbolic link to bin/java,
> which is usually /usr.
> JAVA_HOME=/usr
> {code}
> instead, it should tell folks to point it to a jdk installation and help them
> on how to find that.
