Multiple Java Homes: Giving Java Apps Their Own JRE
Overview With the exponential growth of Java as a server-side development language has come an equivablent exponential growth in Java development tools, environments, frameworks, and extensions. Unfortunately, not all of these tools play nicely together under the same Java VM installation. Some require a Servlet 2.1-compliant environment, some require 2.2. Some only run under JDK 1.2 or above, some under JDK 1.1 (and no higher). Some require the "com.sun.swing" packages from pre-Swing 1.0 days; others require the "javax.swing" package names. This paper describes how to configure a Java installation such that a given application receives its own, private, JRE, allowing multiple Java environments to coexist without driving customers (or system administrators) insane.
