RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Totally untested patch for alternatives:
http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/386221
and sample output:
http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/386222

Do not recognize between single member of family presented  or more (As originally specified in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1344059#c20 and c#22. It jsut always print family (link): [ note, my jdk7 and 9 have no family in specfiles for now)

  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1           java-1.8.0-openjdk (/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.92-1.b14.fc24.x86_64/bin/javac)
   2           /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-legacy-1.7.0.101-2.6.6.1.fc23.x86_64/bin/javac
   3           java-1.8.0-openjdk (/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.92-1.b14.fc24.x86_64-debug/bin/javac)
   4           /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-9.0.0.116-1.fc24.x86_64/bin/javac


Benefits:
 - much smaller change to alternatives
 - more useful output - you always can see both values you can --set.


Negative:
 - most people will for ever have only one meber of --family installed. So they do not need to see full NVRA
 - the line may grow to long on standard terminal (but it actually already does)

Despite my original design, +1 for this output


Despite my original design, I'm for Lukas' approach.
Comment 3 jiri vanek 2016-06-23 15:19:48 UTC 
I made some testing today on Fedora,and pathced laternatives works like an charm.


I'm still hesitating with family x family (path) for view when only one jdk of given family does exists.  If the fix will not bloat to much, then it is probably really worthy.
