Topic

An updated system-switch-java package that fixes two bugs is now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The system-switch-java package provides a tool that allows you to select the
Java environment from the list of the installed Java alternatives. The tool
supports graphical user interface (GUI) and text user interface (TUI) mode.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • When switching to OpenJDK, the system-switch-java utility failed to switch the

web plug-in to the IcedTea plug-in. This happened because system-switch-java was
looking for the plug-in in a wrong location. With this update,
system-switch-java searches for the web plug-in in the correct location
(/usr/lib/IcedTeaPlugin.so) and the plug-in is applied when requested.
(BZ#725718)

  • On system-switch-java 1.1.5, the command "system-switch-java --version"

printed the value "1.1.4". The underlying code has been updated and the command
now returns the correct version number. (BZ#745457)

All users of system-switch-java are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which fixes these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
