It might make sense for the Java Linux principles to work with some of
the major distribution folks and the people behind the Linux
filesystem standard to come up with a standard Java directory tree for
Linux.
The main requirements I see are:
Dealing with the way the JDK wants to be installed. At least in JDK
1.1, it's quite inflexible about where its pieces are.
Nicely supporting the new Java 1.2 class loading system, in
particular the support for a directory of jars.
Making it easy for people to install new jar files and new shared
libraries for the JVM to load.
Making it easy to install alternate Java implementations - a new VM
(Kaffe or Japhar), new class libraries (Classpath), etc.
