TimRikermy /usr/lib/jvm/.java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64.jinfo contains lines that start with jdkhl but /usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives does not look for those, and does not update alternatives for those lines.17:35
TimRikeris this an issue with /usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives ? or an issue with the jinfo file provided by openjdk?17:35
TimRikerit has this line:    which='^(hl|jre|jdk|plugin|DUMMY) '    which discards the "jdkhl" lines. Not sure if the jdkhl lines are supposed to be there, or if they should just be jdk or hl.17:37
TimRikerUbuntu 16.04, java-common 0.56ubuntu2, openjdk-8-jdk:amd64 8u91-b14-3ubuntu1~16.04.1, also using oracle-java8-installer 8u111+8u111arm-1~webupd8~017:47
TimRikeris /usr/lib/jvm/default-java supposed to be there? update-java-alternatives does not update that link. Seems like it should, no?17:48
TimRikerback in a bit...18:04
TimRikerhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam might want updating. it still says openjdk-6 is nice.18:35
TimRikerhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java has no mention of 8 (or 9)18:37
TimRikeroh, 8 and 9 are mentioned down below, just the start only mentions packaging for 6 and 7.18:38
