Michelle Murray updated TOOLSDOC-287:
-------------------------------------
Description:
About: JBDS Getting Started Guide 5.0.1. The second Note in 3.1.1 gives information about
using the alternatives command to add JDK.
Issue: These instructions did not work for me using alternatives version 1.3.59. I made
the assumption that each sudo command should be input separately so perhaps this is where
I went wrong. The use of the given commands, with jdk1.6.0_24 changed for update 37,
resulted in the instructions for using the alternatives commands being output on the
command line as below:
{noformat}[mmurray@dhcp-0-244 ~]$ sudo /usr/sbin/alternatives --install
"/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_37/bin/java"
alternatives version 1.3.59 - Copyright (C) 2001 Red Hat, Inc.

usage: alternatives --install <link> <name> <path> <priority>
[--initscript <service>]
[--slave <link> <name> <path>]*
alternatives --remove <name> <path>
alternatives --auto <name>
alternatives --config <name>
alternatives --display <name>
alternatives --set <name> <path>
common options: --verbose --test --help --usage --version
--altdir <directory> --admindir <directory>{noformat}
Workaround: To get the instructions to work, I added a priority number to the end of each
'alternatives install' command as per the alternatives man page. For example,
{noformat}sudo alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java"
"/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_37/bin/java" 2000{noformat}
{noformat}sudo alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac"
"/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_37/bin/javac" 2000{noformat}
{noformat}sudo alternatives --install "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0"
"java_sdk_1.6.0" "/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_37" 2000{noformat}
I was unsure what number to pick for the priority and randomly put 2000. I ran each sudo
command separately.
Also, it appears that the quotation marks are not necessary in the command.
