Description jiri vanek 2011-08-16 14:30:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
s-s-java can not recognize beta packages of ibm and oracle java 7


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install ibm and (or) sun jdk 7, you can also install other jdks (ibm 4-6, oracle 6, openjdk 6,7, gcj 5....)
2. run alternatives --config java command
3. you will see eg:
  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
   1           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java
   2           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
   3           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
   4           /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-sun-1.7.0.0.x86_64/jre/bin/java

  
Actual results:
run system-switch-java, you will see eg:
jre-1.5.0-gcj
jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64
jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64

Expected results:
jre-1.5.0-gcj
jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64
jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64
java-1.7.0-sun-1.7.0.0.x86_64

Additional info:

This is caused by situatuion that proprietary jdks are linking their jre directly from alternatives  instead of jre link.

Comment 12 jiri vanek 2012-02-29 09:21:10 UTC 
java-1.7.0-sun was renamed to java-1.7.0-oracle. I'm afraid it will need changes also in s-s-java
