Try 'man javavm'.

Its primary purpose is to run applications with different VMs.

Thanks a lot for your help Kamikaze.  I apologize.  With me being
somewhat of a newb to the interworking of FreeBSD, I assumed that the
make.conf file would be referenced hen building a port, not when running
a binary.

I entered the JAVA_PREFERRED_PORTS variable in the make.conf file and
all is well now!

Thanks!

Here is the reason I am asking, and maybe someone could shed some light
on this as well.

I have been using Zend Studio Client 4.0.2 on FreeBSD 6.0-SECURITY for
quite some time.  I updated my ports and packages (which Zend is not)
the other day and it hasn't worked since.

So, if I wanted to try running Zend with the jdk15 port, how would I
specify that I wanted to use the 1.5 version of the jdk before firing
off the process?  I wouldn't think that making the change in my
make.conf file would do this, would it?

Thanks in advance!

I do not know where this is documented, but the best way to deal with it
is setting the variable JAVA_PREFERRED_PORTS in your '/etc/make.conf'. I.e.

JAVA_PREFERRED_PORTS?= JAVA_PORT_NATIVE_BSDJAVA_JDK_1_5

for jdk15. The complete list is


JAVA_PORT_NATIVE_BSDJAVA_JDK_1_5
JAVA_PORT_NATIVE_BSDJAVA_JDK_1_4
JAVA_PORT_NATIVE_BSDJAVA_JDK_1_3
JAVA_PORT_NATIVE_FREEBSD_JDK_1_3
JAVA_PORT_NATIVE_BSDJAVA_JDK_1_2
JAVA_PORT_NATIVE_BSDJAVA_JDK_1_1
JAVA_PORT_LINUX_SUN_JDK_1_4
JAVA_PORT_LINUX_SUN_JDK_1_3
JAVA_PORT_LINUX_SUN_JDK_1_2
JAVA_PORT_LINUX_BLACKDOWN_JDK_1_4
JAVA_PORT_LINUX_BLACKDOWN_JDK_1_3
JAVA_PORT_LINUX_BLACKDOWN_JDK_1_2
JAVA_PORT_LINUX_IBM_JDK_1_4
JAVA_PORT_LINUX_IBM_JDK_1_3

to be found in '/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.java.mk'.

You can run software that was built by older versions, but not vice
versa. That means you can run software that was compiled by 1.4 on 1.5
but not the other way around. Unless you set something like '-target
1.4' when building.

Using javavmwrapper

2006-04-05 Thread Jeff Cross
Can anyone give me some guidance in using javavmwrapper?  I have
searched high and low (I know someone will post the link I have
overlooked) but can't seem to find any detailed information on how to
use it. I understand that there are some environment variables I can use
to choose between different VMs (linux-sun-jdk-1.4.2, jdk-1.4.2, and
jdk-1.5.0) but I can't seem to locate anything.

Also, does it only help when compiling ports that use Java or will it
work to run an application with a different VM?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
