hi there,
I have the following VMs installed:
[betom@ayiin] [Thu Nov 8 19:05:28 2007]
/usr/home/betom
$ pkg_info | grep jdk
jdk-1.5.0.13p7,1 Java Development Kit 1.5.0
jdk-1.6.0.2p2 Java Development Kit 1.6.0
[betom@ayiin] [Thu Nov 8 19:05:31 2007]
/usr/home/betom
$ cat /usr/local/etc/javavms=20
/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/bin/java
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0/bin/java # FREEBSD-JDK1.5.0
$ uname -srv
FreeBSD 7.0-BETA2 FreeBSD 7.0-BETA2 #2: Wed Nov 7 12:02:06 EST 200
=46rom man javavm:=20
[....]
By default, javavm will select the most ``native'' and up to date version
of the Java VM when a given symbolic link is used, invoking and passing
the arguments to the matching executable within the chosen Java VM. T=
he
choice of Java VM may also be influenced by using environment variables
to constrain the version, vendor and operating system of the Java VM.
[...]
I would expect javavm to pick 1.6 as the default VM, but it picks 1.5
$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_13-p7"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-p7-root_08=
_nov_2007_16_03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-p7-root_08_nov_2007_16_03, mixed=
mode
It works ok if I export JAVA_VERSION=3D1.6 to my environment, but I wonder =
why 1.5 is considered the "more native and up to date version of the Java V=
M"
thanks,
B
