Is there a way to change this on the 400?  If I open up the
SystemDefault.properties file, it displays funky characters.

Thanks,
Chad

 Document Title:Changing Default Version for JDK (java.version)
 Document Description:
  Question:  If I have multiple JDKs installed, can I change the default
JDK to a different version?

Answer:  A number of properties are set when the Java virtual machine
starts.  To change the version of the Java virtual machine, you will need
to set the property for Java version (java.version).  Use one of the
following methods to set the property:


  o   Provide a file in /QIBM/UserData/Java400, named
      SystemDefault.properties.  The property values that you specify in
      this file override the system defaults that IBM provides.  This
      file sets the default system properties for all Java virtual
      machines that run on your iSeries 400 system.



  o   Or, place a SystemDefault.properties file in your own user.home
      path.  This file and the properties that it contains override those
      in /QIBM/UserData/Java400/SystemDefault.properties.  This file sets
      the default system properties for all Java virtual machines that
      run for you.

      Following is an example of a SystemDefault.properties file:

      java.version=1.2



Note:   For JDK 1.2+, "java.version" is ignored in
SystemDefault.properties.  This change was made in V4R5 due to a WebSphere
requirement.  To get around this permanent restriction RPG will make a
change to allow the user to specify which version of the JDK to start.
