Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ikvm
When installing ikvm, ikvm should be registered as a java alternative
(via update-alternatives) so that users can select it as their primary
Java runtime (see the postinst files of other JREs).
The appropriate paths and links should probably be configured in
/usr/lib/jvm/ikvm-version (with an ikvm link) as other runtimes are
configured. Unfortunately it looks like apps (eclipse) may expect
certain jar files to exist (rt.jar) that ikvm doesn't provider and
doesn't use directly. It looks like many of these can be links to other
(openjdk) files or created using ikvmstub.
I don't know how practical this is at the moment, but according to
ikvm.net and other sites ikvm is capable of running eclipse and other
large applications. This is what I attempted to do when I encountered
this bug. I still haven't got it working.
