[15:08] <khaled> Hey everyone .. can someone help me connecting to ##java
[23:17] <hansi> hey! 
[23:22] <hansi> is there a canonical way to enfore a specific jre (vendor+version) when calling java? 
[23:24] <hansi> this is what i'm doing now: http://dev.processing.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=178  
[23:48] <jamesstansell> hansi, recent versions can use -version: specification, but I haven't been very impressed with it so far
[23:49] <hansi> yea, also it doesn't allow you to select the vendor. the application i'm doing this for this work gij and requires sun-java, but gij is default on many systems
[23:50] <jamesstansell> on debian a few years ago there was talk of a JRE registry that might be helpful to you - I'm not sure if it was ever implemented though
[23:50] <hansi> you mean the alternatives system? 
[23:50] <jamesstansell> no, it was in addition to the standard debian alternatives
[23:51] <jamesstansell> had more metadata related to java versions, etc
[23:52] <hansi> hm... google didn't reveal any info about such a project
[23:53] <jamesstansell> http://wiki.debian.org/Java may have some link to it, but I'm not seeing it with a quick look
[23:57] <jamesstansell> the discussion was in the debian-java list some time ago
[23:59] <jamesstansell> http://wiki.debian.org/JavaConfig seems to be related to your needs
