Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated system-switch-java package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
The system-switch-java package contains two easy-to-use tools for selecting
the desired Java environment out of a list of installed alternatives. One
tool has a graphical interface and the second is text-based.
This updated system-switch-java package includes fixes for the following bugs:
- Java 1.6.0 alternatives were not being set correctly and were not being
made available.
- system-switch-java was not able to gracefully handle broken symlinks and
would fail to launch.
All users who wish to change their default Java environment quickly and
easily with a graphical user interface are advised to upgrade to this
updated package, which resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
