So essentially what you really want is a way for pacman to remember your
choice. That would require pacman modify its configuration which is
something that goes against the current architecture... What would happen
instead is pacman.conf could be used to configure this.
I'm not sure if IgnorePkg or HoldPkg would have an effect here...
The way I read it, what's being suggested is something like Debian's
update-alternatives. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianAlternatives
Or a JVM version manager ala pyenv etc. Not sure.
Yes and No. These tools allow switching the active JVM. In my case that
would be overkill, I don't need that. I only need the installed software
to be reachable from NetBeans IDE. I'm usually fine running my software
on the latest JDK version - I only need other JDKs for compatibility
testing, and that's most comfortable using an IDE.
Kind regards
