NAME

       tos-locate-jre - Locate a Java installation

SYNOPSIS

       tos-locate-jre --jni tos-locate-jre --java tos-locate-jre --javac

DESCRIPTION

       tos-locate-jre  locates  your  Java  installation.  It  is used by other tools to decide where to install
       files, and is useful for setting up your shell path.

       Under cygwin, tos-locate-jre checks the registry for the installation point of Sun's  JVM.  It  will  not
       find any other versions of Java.

       Under Linux, tos-locate-jre looks for an executable named javac or java in the path. If none is found, it
       looks for IBM's and Sun's Java RPMs (in that order).

       Once  tos-locate-jre  has  located  your  Java directory, it can return the directory containing the java
       executable (--java option), the directory containing  the  javac  executable  (--javac  option),  or  the
       directory where JNI libraries should be installed (--jni option).

       tos-locate-jre  has  only  been  tested  with recent IBM and Sun JVMs. If you use something else, it will
       likely fail.

EXAMPLES

       Add java and javac to your path:
         PATH=`/usr/local/bin/locate-jre --java`:$PATH
         PATH=`/usr/local/bin/locate-jre --javac`:$PATH
