[arch-general] Concurrent java environments

[Adam Vogt]

If you want to change paths and/or other environment variables, maybe 
/etc/profile.d is the place to put a declaration; everything in /opt needs 
it.

If you wanted to disable it being sourced almost permanently, you could 
just have it chmod 644 instead of 755

While regular users can call those scripts from their own .bash_profile 
etc.
