Re: [CentOS] Java installation problem.

5. # alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/local/java/bin/java 3

This is quite a bit cleaner than I've done things in the past, and something I should probably learn.

The default java compiler is gcj. We use the alternatives system to install our new Java setup without overwriting the previous gcj settings. If we want to use gcj, we can easily switch to that one by running # alternatives --config java

6. # alternatives --config java (then choose our new Java command)

After running this command, I ran alternatives --display java and noticed that a fair amount of the slaves were not set including jre etc. Have you worried about setting these? I've read through the manpage for alternatives, but if you have any other documentation sources I'd love to read them.
