'proper' alternatives command?

Posted by: Anonymous [ip: 60.234.153.34] on October 01, 2007 11:56 PM

I set the alternatives 'properly' using these commands:

% alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/default/bin/java 1602 --slave /usr/bin/keytool keytool /usr/java/default/bin/keytool --slave /usr/bin/rmiregistry rmiregistry /usr/java/default/bin/rmiregistry --slave /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/java/default/bin/javaws

% alternatives --auto java

notes: /usr/java/default is a symlink created by sun jre 1.60u2 - point it to wherever the sun jre is

notes2: 1602 needs to be higher than the installed gcj java priority (mine is 1420)
