After realizing I need to use Sun's JVM globally in order to get Flex Builder A3 working under my Fedora 8 install I decided to investigate further how to get it to be an option in the system-switch-java applet. That applet is tuned in to the update-alternatives command. by running the following commands as root, the system was able to switch between the 3 different JVMs I've got installed:



# update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" 

"/usr/java/default/bin/java" 3

# update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" 

"/usr/java/default/bin/javac" 3

# update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javaws" "javaws" 

"/usr/java/default/bin/javaws" 3

Now I can change JVMs globally using update-alternatives --config java command!
