On debian systems I generally use update-alternatives tool to control which jvm I’m using, and on Archlinux there’s archlinux-java, both super convenient when experimenting with different jvms. In fact I find update-alternatives super convenient in my ruby-processing projects for selecting different versions of jruby etc, mind you I never got on with rvm (favoured by many rubyists) which futzes with your system.
