Hi Orion,

My problem is not running jar, but rather switching between different 
JDK's.  I have OpenJDK 6 and 7 and Oracle's 6 and 7 and use

update-alternatives --config java

to switch between them for testing.  Unfortunately I can't seem to 
convince everybody to use my favorite JDK ;-)

The problem is that the alternative setup in the RPMs is not complete.  
jar, javadoc, javah and jstack are the ones I use the most which are are 
not there.

What I'm wondering is if I have to build the install sets from scratch 
or if there's a way to just slave files to existing sets?

Best,
Joe
