canonical way to specify path to java includes from C or C++?

I build a project which includes jni.h and jni_md.h. I have modified the Makefiles to specify the include path, so that these are found by the build system, i.e. I've added

CXXFLAGS = ...\
    -isystem/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.111-5.b16.fc25.x86_64/include/ \
        -isystem/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.111-5.b16.fc25.x86_64/include/linux/ \
         ...

But of course, every time the openjdk-devel package gets an update the path changes, and I have to adjust the file. If I'm building on different versions of fedora I have even more headaches.

Is there a canonical or best way to handle this? Some way to have the path update automatically when the package is updated?

That's already handled by the alternatives framework. You just have to include /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk/include. /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk is a symlink which goes into the alternatives system which, at the end, points to the right path in the filesystem (e.g. /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.111-5.b16.fc25.x86_64).

Thanks, I went down the wrong path because when I did 'find /urs -name "jni.h"', only the version specific file was displayed, not the alternatives provided symlink.
