Have you read the wiki page? "All java related tools such as java, javac, javadoc are symlinks are handled by the alternatives system. Neither the non-privileged user nor the Debian packager can easily override which JVM should be used." That is similar to sensible-browser, sensible-editor, or sensible-pager. As one extra goodie it allows setting up the CLASSPATH in a more comfortable way. > afaik, no. it's VM information. -X and -XX options depend on a specific VM. The existing sensible commands don't have any knowledge about specific tools, e.g. ensible-editor does not support any options that are specific to emacs, vim, ed, mcedit, ... > well, the use case is selection of a VM (might be another path, or just > another option), selection of VM specific flags (-XX, Xint, -Xcomp, ...) > depending on architecture and application.

Are there any options that are common for all types and versions of JVMs on all architectures? Even if the JVM has been installed locally instead of using a Debian package?
