Hi All,
My immediate problem is that the utility "jar" is not in my path and
update-alternatives --config java does not set up the symbolic link. I
currently have /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java selected.
This is as installed.
In my reading I can see a way to set up a new alternative by installing
all the utilities as slaves.
Is there a way to just add jar and a few other utilities to the existing
alternative?
You may have to rethink this. If you want to consistently use a
consistent Java release for a particular package, you can get in
trouble changing the "alternatives" settings for *all* system software
the way you've been doing. In particular, it will be reset
automatically when you RPM update any of your Java core packages.
If you need a particular bundle, strongly consider setting "JAVA_HOME"
for the relevant user or the rlelevant software configuratoin to point
to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/ or similar locations, and
set PATH to include /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin first.
