But the main problem is that it (it = Sun's java) is not used by
default. Well, I could symlink or edit .bashrc so that it will work with
many java calls, but not all. For example, Eclipse (I don't like
GUIs/IDEs, but I need for some special things) allows me to configure
another JVM, but it looks like it does not use it, even after having
choosen it. (I'm getting many strange exceptions from Google's SDK.)

To detect, I did not find anything. But to set manually a new one, it is
possible, but I can't understand the link between
update-java-alternatives and update-alternatives. One must be more
prioritary than another, and the most prioritary one needs to be set to
Sun's one.-- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP. If there is an incompatibility problem with your mail client, please contact me. Every cloud has a silver lining.
