A while back on my Ultra-10 test box running Solaris 8 I installed OpenOffice 2.2. It came with SUN's packaged version of Java 6 and created a /usr/jdk directory. In the past I have been using /usr/jdk as symbolic link to point to one of the self-extracting versions of Java we have installed (e.g. /usr/jdk -> /usr/jdk1.5.0_10). Naturally the Java packages included with OO broke this. Fast forward a few months and we needed to get Java 6 on our production systems. I decided this would be a good time to break the old /usr/jdk symlink so that we could get OO installed later on.
I thought I had taken everything into account but just the other day I realized that utsettings no longer works. It turns out that the SRSS 3.1 was using that same /usr/jdk symlink. I can just recreate the symlink on the production servers but that means I cannot install OO without some additional hoops to jump through. More importantly, it means that my test system and our production environment are continuing to diverge, which really isn't a good thing. So, my question is is there an easy way to change which Java JRE is used post installation? I know it can be done via utinstall -j but that requires reinstalling the software. Would it be enough to change the /etc/opt/SUNWut/jre symbolic link? If I do not fix the problem what else besides utsettings would actually be broken (i.e. how serious is it)? To be honest, it doesn't seem to be affecting anything in our environment, but I though I would ask to see if anyone else has run into this?
