lib32-jdk

Im using swiftfox32 with the lib32-jdk from AUR

Is the only way I found to get my home bank site to work (tried Icedtea too).

But the lib32-jdk conflicts with the icedtea6, swt, j2re and other pkgs needed to install some applications, like bittyrant.

Any way to solve this?

Thanks in advance.

Re: lib32-jdk

The proper way to solve this would be to generate a Gentoo-like 'eselect' utility.  What it really does is set up the shell environment to point to the proper path to your selected JDK engine - so if you wanted the 32-bit JDK, then you'd point the system to it and vice-versa if you wanted a particular 64-bit utility.

What you could do is set it up by hand - do a 'pacman -Sf' for the conflicting JDK, then make sure that you source the proper '/etc/profile.d/{which JDK}.sh' file before starting your program.  I haven't tested this, but there's really no reason this approach wouldn't work... so good luck!
