Has anyone considered a system that 'makes sense' for multiuser operation where different users want different alternative targets at once - or the same user wants alternative JVMs for different applications at the same time?
Perhaps for certain things, alternative isn't the correct device to use. Personally, I set JAVA_HOME (along with PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH). For other packages, I still do PATH=$PACKAGE/bin:$PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH= $PACKAGE/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It's old-school but it still works, specially on a per-user level. --
