Installing alternatives for the IBM 1.4.2 JDK for 32-bit PowerPC
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I used the following commands to install alternatives for use with
update-alternatives (thanks to Nicole and Arnaud for the pointers) that
allow PowerPC users to quickly alternate between JDK tool options. The
priority value of 1000 may be a bit of overkill, but it's not a big deal:
# Use update-alternatives to install
# JDK alternatives for the IBM JDK installed
# in the default location per IBM's documentation.
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac
/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-142/bin/javac 1000
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/rmic rmic
/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-142/bin/rmic 1000
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java
/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-142/bin/java 1000
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/jarsigner jarsigner
/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-142/bin/jarsigner 1000
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javadoc javadoc
/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-142/bin/javadoc 1000
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/appletviewer appletviewer
/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-142/bin/appletviewer 1000
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/rmid rmid
/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-142/bin/rmid 1000
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/rmiregistry rmiregistry
/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-142/bin/rmiregistry 1000
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javah javah
/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-142/bin/javah 1000
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javap javap
/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-142/bin/javap 1000
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/jar jar
/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-142/bin/jar 1000
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/jdb jdb
/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-142/bin/jdb 1000
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/keytool keytool
/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-142/bin/keytool 1000
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/policytool policytool
/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-142/bin/policytool 1000
Using the /usr/bin/fjsdk/bin/java-alt-setup script, I was then able to
indicate the use of the appropriate java tools for use with the links in
/usr/bin. This could also be performed manually using the following
commands:
update-alternatives --config javac
update-alternatives --config rmic
update-alternatives --config jarsigner
update-alternatives --config javadoc
update-alternatives --config appletviewer
update-alternatives --config rmid
update-alternatives --config rmiregistry
update-alternatives --config javah
update-alternatives --config javap
update-alternatives --config jar
update-alternatives --config jdb
update-alternatives --config keytool
update-alternatives --config policytool
