Description Alexander Kurtakov 2013-08-01 09:09:32 UTC 
On startup: 
No supported Java packages were found.  A supported Java package is one that installs a file of the form:

/usr/lib/jvm/jre-$version-$vendor/bin/java

For example, java-1.4.2-gcj-compat is a supported package because it installs:

/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java

This happens even if java-1.7.0-openjdk is installed. Note that java-1.8.0-openjdk is properly recognized. I do understand the simplification of jvm packages but system-switch-java is especially useful with the possibility to have multiple 1.7 and the ability to test 1.8. Without system-switch-java it's too easy to come with weird combination if one tried to set up alternatives manually.
