Agreed, someone complained on one of my java packages that it was using the incorrect path for oracle java from the aur, and upon inspection I noticed these multiple packages providing the same thing, none of which work as they should be. I assumed they would have fixed it since that was only a short time after the new java common stuff, but it appears that they may need some assistance with that task.

Since the new java-common come to the repo Is now possible have multiple java, but this bring and open another issue, java naming scheme the guy in jre/jdk[1] and jre-devel and jdk-devel refuse to follow a convention non generic name and the other maintaining jre7/jdk7 [2] and jre7-oracle/jdk7-oracle that do the same [3] refuse to accept or merge jre7-oracle into jre7 for the same reason even if the jre-oracle was merged into jre, this is a chaos. Many packages doing the same in different verion having different name conventions and ALL arguin bein correct.
There is need to a conventional standar name scheme or this will be worst, instead to be kiss this is sick. There is a name scheme or name convention to follow?
[1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jdk/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jdk7/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jdk7-oracle/ There is also a jdk5-compat. Also mergins as ben posponed until name convention come.
