You don't want to change the manually. You want to use the alternative
system to change it.  The alternative system (using update-alternatives)
will not only change the binary of the one you asking for, but also the
manual pages and associated files.

So, for Java, it will not just point /usr/bin/java to the version you
want, but it will also update the javac, jar etc links, but also the
associated manual pages to those files
