[gentoo-user] What is the new!shiny! way of changing the java environment for a script with java-config-2???

[local account for liebichw]

Hi,
I'm a JAVA programmer & use gentoo linux to test my apps against as many
JDK versions as I can :-). With java-config V1.x I could change the
active VM inside of a script with the line "eval `java-config -P
<jdk-name>`". This no longer works - what IS the new preferred way to
switch the JDK environment FOR A SCRIPT ONLY w/o always having to switch
user (or system) VMs?? Yes, I could print out all env vars I need
(JDK_HOME, etc...) and change them manually, but I would prefer
something as simple as my old trick above :-(
Any comments to this?
Wolfgang

That would be GENTOO_VM according to the docs.
