[Bug 296880] Re: Vuze won't launch if default Java is not Java 6

[wensveen]

@Aldrin: Yes, you're right. Hmm, I guess it's not possible to have the
dependencies conflict with all java runtimes below java 6. Or at least,
this would be undesirable.

At the very least Aldrin's 1st suggestion should be done. It is indeed
simply *wrong*. When we also depend on 'openjdk-6-jre | sun-java6-jre',
fiXedd script is okay, because we know at least one of them is
installed. A more complicated, but also more correct option would be to
first check /etc/alternatives, and when that results in a java version
below 6, fall back to fiXedd script.

Actually, /etc/alternatives/java is kind of incorrect, IMO. Because
java5 and java6 are seperate products, and it is completely viable to
run them alongside each other, there should be an
/etc/alternatives/java5 and /etc/alternatives/java6 (../java7). At least
for versions that are not completely compatible.
