[gentoo-user] java virtual machine

[Frederico Moraes Ferreira]

Hi List,
I'm trying to set the java virtual machine as follows:

####################################################
mephisto ~ # java-config --list-available-vms
The following VMs are available for generation-2:
*)    Oracle JDK 1.8.0.66 [oracle-jdk-bin-1.8]

mephisto ~ # java-config --set-system-vm oracle-jdk-bin-1.8
Now using oracle-jdk-bin-1.8 as your generation-2 system JVM

ferreirafm@mephisto ~ $ java-config --set-user-vm oracle-jdk-bin-1.8
Now using oracle-jdk-bin-1.8 as your user JVM
#####################################################

Well, when I try to install some java application, it issues that no 
virtual machine
is in the PATH (as show bellow).

####################################################
ferreirafm@mephisto ~/Downloads $ sh ./install-jalview.bin
Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...
No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH
environment variable.  You must install a VM prior to
running this program.
#####################################################

I know I can set PATH in the .bashrc, but shouldn't
" java-config --set-user-vm" do the work?

Best,
Fred

I do not know the answer to your question. But here is how I switch java 
virtual machines:

$ eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
   [1]   icedtea-bin-7  system-vm
   [2]   oracle-jre-bin-1.7

$ eselect java-vm set user 2
or
$ sudo eselect java-vm set system 2

Has anybody happen to know which java distribution, except the oracle 
one, will carry javaws?
Thanks,
Fred

javaws was working here with icedtea-bin-7.

Correction: dev-java/icedtea-web seems to be the package providing 
javaws for icedtea.
