You're almost there. This alternatives configuration means that there is
a link named javac (/etc/alternatives/javac) which now points to
/usr/local/lib/jdk/bin/javac. Now you can link /usr[/local]/bin/javac to
/etc/alternatives/javac ('cd /usr/bin/; ln -s /etc/alternatives/javac').
This is usefull if later on you install some other java compiler like
kaffe or whatever, then all you have to do is run update-alternatives to
use whichever one you feel like. You could, of course, also just link
/usr/bin/javac directly to /usr/local/lib/jdk/bin/javac, if you don't
feel like messing with the alternatives approach.
The java interpreter should be good to go already. If not, then you just
need to edit /etc/java-vm . First line is the path to the 'java'
program, the second line is your classpath configuration. (list of colon
seperated paths)
Hope that helps.
