Re: High Sierra appears to fully deprecate system-java16

This also means that the Java for OS X 2015-001 installer creates a
dangling symlink at /Library/Java/Home pointing at a non-existant
directory /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home

Mac-Pro:Java howarth$ pwd
/Library/Java
Mac-Pro:Java howarth$ ls -l
total 8
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   68 Sep 17 12:02 Extensions
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   48 Sep 17 12:02 Home ->
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home
drwxr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  136 Sep 14 21:23 JavaVirtualMachines
Mac-Pro:Java howarth$ ls -l /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home
ls: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home: No such file or directory
