B,
Yes. Not only because I read that but because it makes sense.
2. Can't I have multiple java (jdk and jre) versions installed? Different
jave applications are hard-coded for specific java versions.
The way I'd handle this (which might even be the right way?) would be to
first make sure the various java packages don't step on each others'
files. If that's the case, you'd switch between multiple installed java
packages by making one & only one of the profile.d scripts executable,
then log out & back in after you change which one is +x, each time you do
it.
Excellent advice and I'll follow it. I thought that java applications would
find the version they wanted if it was installed, and use it.
Thanks,
Rich
