[jira] [Issue Comment Edited] (DAEMON-224) Add /etc/alternatives/jre to the list of JAVA_HOME suggestions on Linux

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-224?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13139350#comment-13139350 ]

Patch committed. Thanks!

I added /etc/alternatives/java_sdk to the location search since this is usually used on RHEL/Fedora. Suppose SuSE uses the same approach for JDK. It is searched before JRE as it should be.

> On some flavors of Linux (e.g., openSUSE), the {{update-alternatives}} system is used to configure which JVM to use.
> On these systems, {{$JAVA_HOME}} can always be set to {{/etc/alternatives/jre}}.
