Hmm. interesting. I'll ask again , though, because I'm not understanding:
why dont you like the top level directory as "java"?
What are you envisioning being in /opt/csw/java, besides the single
directory "instances"?

(I'll mention that currently, we already have documented, and in use,
  a standard for jar files, to live in /opt/csw/share/java

    http://www.opencsw.org/standards/layout
     mentions this)
