Java Development in Linux
- by Zac
I'm a developer and am brand new to Linux (Ubuntu): I'm wondering what the "best practices dictate" for what FHS directories to install various tools to. Things I'll be installing:
Eclipse & plugins
GlassFish
SVN
...etc.
I see that /opt is for holding additional ("optional") software packages, but also see /usr as a place for utils and apps. In another post a user recommended I create an entire partition for /srv alone, and to do my staging there (I assume he meant that /srv is where GlassFish and other servers should go?).
So basically: what FHS directories do Linux developers use for which type of tools?
Thanks for any input here
