Description

I'm trying the script bin/sparql, to me the code that deals with links when setting JENA_HOME is unnecessary, it ends up setting '.' as the prefix for lib/ ad triggering main class not found (when putting $JENA_HOME/bin in PATH).

The same script works when I set JENA_HOME with the physical path of Jena, not its symlink (which I don't like, because I prefer to upgrade by symlinking the last version to 'jena' and not having to change anything else).

I've tried a version of such script where I removed all if [ -L ... ] and it works perfectly well. In my opinion, the existing code (using dirname ... && pwd) is enough to track the folder where the script is.
