Java troubles. A java application I needed required the latest java update but after running the Oracle updater, /usr/bin/java still pointed to the previous version. A simple solution is to point the symlink to the right place, but with SIP enabled that symlink can't be modified. Here's the stack overflow guide I was following: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12757558/installed-java-...

Looking back, I think you are right, it would have been easier to just add a symlink under the /usr/local/bin folder. Though it didn't cross my mind at that point.
