Java/setDefaultJava

From openSUSE

setDefaultJava / setJava replacements

SUSE switched Java packaging to JPackage style, which is why commands like setJava and setDefaultJava are not available anymore.

Instead, we use the update-alternative system now!

Setting JRE

For setting the default JRE, call -- as root -- the following command:

  update-alternatives --config java

Setting JDK

For setting the default JDK, call -- as root -- the following command:

  update-alternatives --config javac

Restrictions

Right now, there is no replacement for setJava ... the described commands set the JRE / JDK system wide.
