Hello, I asked on irc but seams everybody is still in bed :) We want to deploy multiple JVM on our hosts (sun java6 and Java7 mainly) because of some requirement for our developments. Finding out which JVM to use for a package and set JAVA_HOME and PATH accordingly is quite heavy. Our packages should depends on virtual package java6-runtime-headless or java7-runtime-headless for example. So idea is to add alternative for every Provided virtual package for a JVM in /usr/lib/jvm so application can easily rely on /usr/lib/jvm/java7-runtime-headless to set JAVA_HOME and PATH ($JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH) without any problem (like /usr/bin/java pointing to some java6 version required by an older application) Does this make sense according to you ? Best regards, -- Damien HARDY
