Peter Linnell commented on BIGTOP-1137:
---------------------------------------
Just one thought: We've not defined the BOM for 0.8, which may or may not
support IBM Java as well. We should try to include its detection as well. It
is packaged much like openJDK, so its well behaved in the packaging sense using
alternatives and setting the correct symlinks to /usr/java/default
> provide a way to request a major version of JDK

> It could be quite useful to have bigtop-utils java detection code
> discriminate between major version of JDK so that an environment variable
> could help prioritize between Java7 and Java6.
> I propose we introduce BIGTOP_JAVA_MAJOR environment variable that could then
> be set to either 7 or 6.
