Java Fun in Debian PPC



hey all,

there may be a debain java list, but im no on it and this isnt super important, so being that this query is related to ppc i will put it here ;)

for various reasons i am enjoying tinkering with java on my debianized ibook dual usb. obviously suns java isnt available (which is fine, im not a hater) so i have been tinkering with various alternatives.

i have the gjc going and i have been successful in using ibm's java for powerpc (using java-package to keep it debian-centric)

firstly, is there a debian way of pointing the /usr/bin/java to the jvm you plan to use? it points at /etc/alternatives/java, which then points to a binary. i have just relinked this, but am curious if there is debian tool to manage alternatives

secondly, im curious if there is an iceweasel plugin that will run applets using ibm's rather than the gnu java.

thanks,


Dean
