Could we, along with installing Java classes as directories instead of
.jar archive files [0] at a more specific prefix, define a search path
specification that'd set CLASSPATH? Currently I don't see anything
setting CLASSPATH outside of the build systems, so even if we propagate
Java things, I don't see how it'd find them in a profile.
[0] Not exactly sure how that's done yet, but it's mentioned here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/windows/classpath.html
