This is already done, using /etc/alternatives/, perhaps someone knowledgeable can speak up (SONJA?!?) Ciao, Marcus

No need to shout ;-) A more comfortable solution to switch java environments if more than one jvm package is installed is on my list of things that really should still be done for 10.0. There are two flavours: - switch java in the current environment: change $PATH so that the preferred java binary directories come first, and set JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME accordingly - switch the default system java: adjust all the symlings with update-alternatives. The %post sections of the jvm packages roughly show what needs to be done for that, though it is a bit of a mess.
