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
