However, now that you have the compat package installed for Sun, you
can set alternatives to use that jvm. Install everything you need, let
it install OpenJDK and GCJ, and then as root, run:
alternatives --config java
alternatives --config javac
And select the Sun version in both cases, and your system will use that
for everything from there on.
uhm, yes this is a solution even if the compat package wasn't necessary
another alternatives is to install the packages without yum (tgz) but I
prefer to keep you to have the automatic updating of at the libraries.
What do you mean? Alternatives wouldn't work without the compat package
installed as the Sun RPM does not set it up.
With the compat package installed and alternatives set manually, the
links go into manual mode and do not change when newer JDKs are
installed. That means that you can then yum update as often as you want
without having the JDK links change from the Sun JDK.
seems that jpackage-utils makes the trick and no sun-java-compat package
is necessary.
or at least in my case it is working for my two jdk installations (5.0
and 6.0) and now I'll go on with the openjdk and gcj vms.
