Shall I wrap the > command in a shell script? Ideas? Either the application uses already a script to start and you can modify JAVA_HOME there or you may wrap it in a shell script. Simply set JAVA_HOME using Gentoo's java-config command: ========= %< ========== #! /bin/bash JAVA_HOME=`java-config --select-vm=oracle-jdk-bin-1.8 -o` command ========= %< ========== The option -o prints the JRE home, see the --help option to see alternatives. The selection name is the name used in eselect, so you may update the package without touching the script. Cheers, Jörg
