# alternatives --config java There are 2 programs which provide 'java'. Selection Command ----------------------------------------------- * 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/java + 2 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java So it thinks I have 2 versions of Java. Here is the first: # java -version java version "1.6.0_0" IcedTea6 1.4 (6b12-Fedora-10) Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b12) OpenJDK Server VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode) Here is the second: # java -version java version "1.5.0" gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7) However, I actually have 3 versions of Java, because I installed the Sun Java from a Sun rpm: # rpm -ql jre /usr/java/jre1.5.0_15/CHANGES /usr/java/jre1.5.0_15/COPYRIGHT /usr/java/jre1.5.0_15/LICENSE /usr/java/jre1.5.0_15/README /usr/java/jre1.5.0_15/THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.txt /usr/java/jre1.5.0_15/Welcome.html /usr/java/jre1.5.0_15/bin /usr/java/jre1.5.0_15/bin/ControlPanel /usr/java/jre1.5.0_15/bin/java If I test it it works fine. # /usr/java/jre1.5.0_15/bin/java -version java version "1.5.0_15" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_15-b04) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_15-b04, mixed mode) So I move it to /usr/lib/jvm and run again: alternatives --config java There are 2 programs which provide 'java'. Selection Command ----------------------------------------------- *+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/java 2 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java The Sun Java doesn't show up. /usr/lib/jvm looks like this: ls -al total 204 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 . drwxr-xr-x 183 root root 139264 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 jre -> /etc/alternatives/jre lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 jre-1.5.0 -> /etc/alternatives/jre_1.5.0 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 jre1.5.0_15 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 jre-1.5.0-gcj -> java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0/jre lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 jre-1.6.0 -> /etc/alternatives/jre_1.6.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 jre-1.6.0-openjdk -> java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0/jre lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 jre-gcj -> /etc/alternatives/jre_gcj lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 jre-openjdk -> /etc/alternatives/jre_openjdk How do I get the Sun java to be the default Java, without doing a 24 step build that Googling finds ?
