What shroom induced insanity is this? Why does alternatives not work?
Java is not "just" a system directory, it's a set of coordinated commands, some of those shared between the jre and the jdk, with the set varying slightly between Java versions, JDK provider, etc.
Writing good alternative rules given all those can be quite challenging and brain-damaging (alternative rules must upgrade gracefully to the next package versions)
I'm sure the maintainers of the Java packages would be delighted to have someone to review all the alternative rules and fix up all the warts that crept in since Java 1.3 times (back in my day, once you got alternatives to work for a new jdk, you tried very hard to forget the experience). Certainly, all the standardizing on openjdk after SUN sank should have simplified the mess a little.
