hidden directories under /etc/

Hi,
I recently discovered that openjdk creates hidden directories under
/etc/ [1]. I would like to propose that those directories should be made
explicit.

The patch modifies the directory names to make them visible by default.
The directory /etc/java/ already exists on many linux distributions -
jpackage uses it - so it seems like a useful replacement directory.
The patch also renames systemPrefs to system-prefs to make it slightly
more consistent with existing directories under /etc/.
Does anyone have any thoughts or concerns?
Thanks,
Omair
