An already-updated cacerts store is available in the touchstone locker, in /mit/touchstone/config/java.

For convenience, install shell profile scripts in /etc/profile.d that define JAVA_HOME, e.g. java.csh:

setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/java/default
if ( "${path}" !~ *${JAVA_HOME}/bin* ) then
    set path = ( ${JAVA_HOME}/bin $path )
endif

java.sh:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/default
if ! echo $PATH | grep -q ${JAVA_HOME}/bin ; then
    export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATH
fi
