1 Hi gang.
2
3 New features include
4
5 * Some bugfixes that blew up mozilla 0.9.9
6 * Switching between installed VMs
7 * Man page
8
9 Short intro:
10
11 Listing available VMs: java-config --list-available-vms
12 this will list the VMs that you have installed and allow you to set a
13 system default.
14
15 Setting the system default: java-config
16 --set-system-vm=blackdown-jre-1.3.0 this will set up /etc/env.d/20java to
17 use the blackdown-jre-1.3.0 VM.
18
19 Setting the user default: java-config --set-user-vm=blackdown-jre-1.3.0
20 will set up $HOME/.gentoo/java-env to use blackdown-jre-1.3.0. Then just
21 source $HOME/.gentoo/java-env and you're all set.
22
23
24 To get all these goodie features, I'm afraid you will have to remerge your
25 JVMs. Also make sure you delete /etc/init.d/2?{jdk,jre}

28 Kind regards,
