We've got a developer here who needs to use both java and openjdk. I was giving her sudo for alternatives, but my manager would prefer that I look into environment-modules. I've installed it, and I see it comes with configurations for cvs and info... but nothing for java, and the man pages doesn't seem to offer info on creating one.
Does anyone have a pointer to a howto, or maybe even a sample one?
install openjdk uia standard centos 5.x rpms, install Sun Java to /usr/java/jdk-whatever via the Sun tarball.
Already did that (btw, Sun doesn't give you a tarball, they give you a self-extracting .bin).
if you put /usr/java/jdk-whatever/bin first in the path, you'll be using the Sun java. if you take it out of the path, you will be using the default distribution openjdk.
I'm trying to provide a simple method for switching between the two, and I don't have any guarantee that someone *other* than this developer, who seems knowledgeable, will have to do the same thing.
I reiterate: does anyone have any examples for a modulefile for java?
