Description heill 2008-02-05 20:59:05 UTC 
Java DB will - as NB 6.01 - go into Ubuntu Hardy very soon.

On Ubuntu, Java DB will install into /usr/share/javadb, and
NB should be able to detect a Java DB install there.

On Linux, NB currently looks in /opt/SUNWjavadb and /opt/sun/javadb 
(apart from ${JAVA_HOME}/db).

Please add /usr/share/javadb to this search path, which should
hopefully be a very low risk oneliner :)

It would be really good if this could make it into the NB
packages targeted for Ubuntu "Hardy" 8.01, which is nearing
code freeze (i.e well beforeFeb 14).

Regards,
Lars, Java DB release pusher

I know this is important, but based on our priority guidelines, it really is a P3, because there is a reasonable
workaround: registering Java DB manually.  I agree though that it's a pain and plan to fix it, it shouldn't be too hard.
