I would suggest /usr/share/javaX.Y.Z
and simple script wrappers which will use some USER /etc predefined
variables
User could have something like .javarc in home directory.
This could be changed by some graphical/textual tools.
More experienced could use export JAVA_VERSION....
in /etc/javarc would be some system default behavior.
Any better ideas ?
