Comments
Currently Java 6 (a.k.a 1.6.0) and Java 7 (a.k.a 1.7.0) are installed centrally in
/afs/slac.stanford.edu/package/java and linked from /usr/local/bin. The installed versions are:
Java 1.6.0 -> 1.6.0_39
Java 1.7 -> 1.7.0_13
When invoking Java via
/usr/local/bin/java
it defaults to using Java 6, although this can be controlled by setting
setenv JAVAVER 1.7
On Feb. 25, 2013 the default version will change from Java 6 to Java 7
