Summary: Compiler not found in JDKs installed as linux packages

Initial Comment:
In Ubuntu 8.10/9.04 (and apparently in most other Linux distributions) various Java JDKs are installed as Linux packages in /usr/lib/jvm/<dir> where <dir> is either java-6-sun, java-6-openjdk, or java-1.5.0-sun (these "dirs" may be symbolic links to specific versions such as java-6-sun-1.6.0.13).  The search-for-javac protocol in DrJava does not look in any directories of the form /usr/lib/jvm/* unless JAVA_HOME is set to one of them.  DrJava should find javac in any of the default Linux JDK packages.
