I do not know the answer to your other questions, but the above is not the
case in Ubuntu or Opensuse. I have ImageJ installed it in the folder I want in
my home directory. Just unpacked the installation download from the IJ site.
But perhaps I did not understand the problem. Is it that you do not have write
access to that soft-linked folder?
I doubt that it is IJ's fault, but the logic followed by the Fedora installer.
If you are not supposed to have write access to a system folder for security
reasons, why would you expect to be able to write to it as a user? Isn't that
restricted to the administrator? If you are the administrator, can't you grant
yourself write access?

That is how I do it in linux.
