man 8 update-alternatives is a good start ..

Thank you! It is a good start.

Not sure what you mean by 'using' it, as in determining the default
editor or some other program? Or changing them?


E.g. what if I would like to build my own java .deb package.
I need an example on how to inform that my package is
a "java" alternative which has the highest priority.

regards,
