Benjamin,
My immediate guess is 'Yes'. You would have to right a script that set up
and re-exported all of your PATH and JAVA environment variables and then
launch the respective application. Sort of 'overriding' the default
variables setup in .bash_profile (or wherever you set them up), i.e.:
For netomat:
export PATH=/usr/local/java/jre1.1.6/bin:$PATH
<path-to-netmat>/netomat
For StarOffice:
export PATH=/usr/local/java/jre1.1.7v1a/bin:$PATH
<path-to-star-office>/soffice
Another possibility is to change only the link in the script. For example,
I point to my jre-1.1.7-v1a with a 'jre' link:
ln -s /usr/local/java/jre-1.1.7-v1a jre
so that /usr/local/java/jre points to the 1.1.7 files. You could write
scripts that remove and recreate this link at runtime. This way you don't
have to mess with your path pointer for the java files. I am assuming you
don not need any other version-specific variables set.
Hope this wasn't too pedantic.
