+
+ javavmwrapper has been rewritten. It now creates symbolic links for
+ all executables of the Java VMs that have been registered with it.
+ These symbolic links may impact which version of Java you are using,
+ depending on your PATH, which may need to be adjusted.
+
+ For example, if your path is:
+
+ ${LOCALBASE}/bin:${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin
+
+ then previously "java" would resolve to ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin/java.
+ With the new javavmwrapper it will resolve to ${LOCALBASE}/bin/java.
+ Depending upon the Java VMs that are registered and various environment
+ variables, it may or may not be ${LOCALBASE}/jdk1.4.2/bin/java that is
+ run by javavmwrapper via the symbolic link ${LOCALBASE}/bin/java.
