It needs to ask, or we need to have a GUI tool to configure it. Either way, it is still a bug. When you install the sun JRE it's not used for many java applications. And there is no obvious way to change it.
I can't see why this bug was rejected. Without a solution, providing the sun-jre as a package is nearly useless. And it seems that it was rejected based on not moving eclipse to multiverse? That wasn't even the question. The bug is simple: Make it so that people can choose(without command line) the default provider of their JRE. -- 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
