FROM -l --link TO -l --latest
FROM -d --jdk TO -k --jdk
FROM -u --update TO -d --default

Command: import - parse update-java-alternatives -l and forward all names to command add with switch --force.

On ubuntu, these folders are

Firefox: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
Chrome: /opt/google/chrome/plugins

Support for other linux distros like debian, gento should also be added (add DISTRIB_ID, browser and plugin path as comments to this issue)

For more information about enabling browser java-plugin on linux:

and remove option: "-j | --jvm" from command: "install"

install: same as today
remove: undo previous install of JVM (based in *.jinfo)
display: show information about given JVM
help : show help about given command

It is possible to distinguish between jre/jdk version with the test -d "/path/to/jvm/jre". If it is true, it is a JDK, otherwise JRE.

The script currently only works with x86_64 architecture (all links assume /lib/amd64/*).

Add support for automatically detection of JVM architecture. Use this to insert correct paths in *jinfo files.

When installing JVM as latest JVM, jinfo file is not updated.

The script currently adds two default alternatives for java-plugin (libnpjp2.so):

plugin mozilla-javaplugin.so $R/$N/lib//libnpjp2.so
plugin xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so $R/$JVM/lib//libnpjp2.so

where $R is JVM root folder and $N is JVM name. In addition, the following links also occurs in posts on internet

plugin javaplugin.so $R/$N/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
plugin firefox-javaplugin.so $R/$N//lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
plugin iceape-javaplugin.so $R/$N//lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
plugin iceweasel-javaplugin.so $R/$N//lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
plugin midbrowser-javaplugin.so $R/$N//lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
plugin xulrunner-javaplugin.so $R/$N//lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so

These should should be added to all templates.

This script supports the following OS kernels

1. Ubuntu

Add kernel support checks to install script.

Only JVMs in the same root directory as already managed JVMs should be supported. Command name: add.

This script requires

1. update-alternatives
2. update-java-alternatives

Add automatic checks to install script.

Use

> cd /path/to/named/jvm/bin/
> java -version 2>&1 | sed 's/java version "\(.*\)\.\(.*\)\..*"/\2/; 1q'

to detect major version of named JVM (4|5|6|7).
