I agree it is a hack, but I never understood the whole
/etc/alternatives thing, it really seemed evil to me as well :)  This

the hassle

But that's just a hack if your distro uses /etc/alternatives (which I

generates the required forest of symlinks will make it much easier to
switch back and forth between Java 5 and Java 6 during testing.
