[Mageia-discuss] java question, of sorts

I've been using Oracle's version of JRE 1.7.x for the browser plugin on
one of my computers and decided to replace it with the icedtea-web
plugin as a test. As I was going into the mozilla plugin directory to
manually remove the link, I happened to notice a number of empty
directories in /usr/lib labelled java and java 1.x, most of them old
versions.
It may be a stupid question, but is there any compelling reason for
those empty directories to be there? From all I can see, they're just
taking up space.
BTW, the one website that used to be unhappy with the iced tea plugin is
now satisfied with this version, so I really have no need for the Oracle
version any more. In fact, I like the iced tea plugin better, because it
displays components of a radar loop as they are loaded. The jre plugin
waits for the whole loop to load before displaying anything.
