Title:
  ikvm is not installed as a viable java alternative

Status in ikvm package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ikvm package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
