Ah, didn't know about java-common, just looked at it and it is missing
many binaries (e.g. javac). Wouldn't it be the better solution to do it
this way instead of relying on java-common? It's obviously harder to
keep java-common up to date instead of simply installing a profile file.
If you disagree changing $PATH isn't needed for some specific reason but
some applications rely on JAVA_HOME being set one example is the android
studio IDE.
