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
/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
From man javavm:
[....]
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. The
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=1.6 to my environment, but I wonder why 1.5 is considered the "more native and up to date version of the Java VM"
thanks,
B
