When there is a version bump for the j2sdk-bin spell (and, I'm assuming,
though I haven't tested, the j2sdk spell, as well), the PATH gets changed,
because the version number is in the directory name. The problem is that the
new PATH doesn't take affect until a re-login, and if db (I don't know if
anything else has this same behavior) is dependant on j2sdk, it wants to
rebuild because of the TRIGGERS file, but can't because "no acceptable Java
compiler found in $PATH". Clear as mud? What I'm wondering is if we should
add something to the j2sdk-bin spell, like sourcing the profile file in
FINAL, or is this just one of those things that we will have to deal with?

$ cat /etc/profile.d/java.sh
#!/bin/bash
#
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/j2sdk1.4.2_09

export JAVA_HOME
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
