Guys, Some solution should be found, and it's not necessarily update- alternatives.
The JAVA_HOME setting is something _every_ java user on Ubuntu has to do, and as such I think a solution should be made. Please don't assume this is a "corporate" only requirement, large and highly successful open source projects do this assumption as well. For reference (and the reason that brought me here), the Hadoop installation guide mentions: """ Unpack the downloaded Hadoop distribution. In the distribution, edit the file conf/hadoop-env.sh to define at least JAVA_HOME to be the root of your Java installation. """ source: http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/quickstart.html I think this issue should be reopened as an enhancement with high priority (server & desktop alike) rather then closed as "wont fix". -- update-java-alternatives does not change the JAVA_HOME https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/45348 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
