</div>That sounds like a good idea to me (from what I've seen so far this is<br>
the more common case in the Java world). I suppose that installing<br>
individual .class files was easier to implement for now and nobody<br>
bothered about changing that. Please feel free to provide a patch<br>
(remember to update the sample config in src/<a href="http://collectd.conf.in" target="_blank">collectd.conf.in</a> as well)<br>
;-) <br></blockquote><div><br>I will start working on the patch.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</div>Why do you think so?<br>
<br>
If those files are architecture independent (which, I suppose, is the<br>
case, but I'm not sure how JNI has an effect on that), /usr/share/<br>
collectd/ is the right place for them (according to FHS).<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>I think of jar files equivalent of .so files. A jar file is used to ship collection of java class files similar to a .so file which is a collection of object files. If you look at any of the java based softwares, for instance tomcat, you will find all the jars sitting in the lib directory.<br>
