Many users need to use java5 because it is used by other people they work with. Expecting them to figure out how to make it the default JRE by editing lots of text files is not reasonable.
Maybe the easiest way to do this would be to have a way to (easily) *uninstall* gcj. That would allow us to still have sun java lower on each of the priority lists. Whatever the solution, I think it should be possible to have the sun JRE as one's default Java environment by only installing a set of packages -- sun-java5-jdk should ask to set itself as the default upon installation https://launchpad.net/bugs/59987 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
