feature request - command line argument for jdk path #80

Open seannybgoode opened 8 years ago

seannybgoode commented 8 years ago

I use several different JDKs for testing and compatibility purposes, and I like to have those lying around in places that are convenient for me. It would be very useful to be able to specify which jdk to use when running jvmtop.

Hi, is just JAVA_HOME env variable not enough here for the use case ?

seannybgoode commented 8 years ago

it seems to be picky about certain configurations.

From my console just now:

sean@laptop:~/Desktop/jvmtop$ echo $JAVA_HOME /usr/bin/jdk/bin sean@laptop:~/Desktop/jvmtop$ '/home/sean/Desktop/jvmtop/jvmtop.sh' /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre seems to be no JDK! sean@laptop:~/Desktop/jvmtop$

And just troubleshooting:

sean@laptop:~/Desktop/jvmtop$ . /etc/environment sean@laptop:~/Desktop/jvmtop$ '/home/sean/Desktop/jvmtop/jvmtop.sh' /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre seems to be no JDK! sean@laptop:~/Desktop/jvmtop$ echo $JAVA_HOME /usr/bin/jdk/

Hi, does /usr/bin/jdk really contain a jdk? Can you execute ls /usr/bin/jdk?
