Hi to all,

I just seen a problem with OpenJDK 8 and OSX.

java works when providing full path :

mbp:workspace henri$
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-1.8-x86_64/Contents/Home/bin/java
-version
openjdk version "1.8.0-b11-fastdebug"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-b11-fastdebug-20111109)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b03-fastdebug, mixed mode)

java fail when setting JAVA_HOME :

mbp:workspace henri$ export
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-1.8-x86_64/Contents/Home
mbp:workspace henri$ java -version
Error: could not find libjava.dylib
Error: Could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.

It was something allready present in openjdk 1.7 from bsd-port and
patch is provided.
For now, I'll add it to my packaging build process, but it will be
fine to get it included in MLVM patches.

Cheers
