[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TOOLSDOC-287?page=com.atlassian.jira.plug... ] 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.

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. was: About: The second Note in 3.1.1 gives information about using the alternatives command to add JDK.
