Choose a specific java version for neo4j or cocoon

Question

I'm currently running cocoon on my FreeBSD server (9.2) I'm using this version of java :

java -version openjdk version "1.6.0_32" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_32-b28) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.25-b01, mixed mode)

But I would like also to use Neo4j which needs Java 7. I did a pkg opendjk7 but I don't know how to tell Neo4j to use this version of Java (in my PATH I have Java 6).

What should I do ?

Thanks a lot Sincerely A.H

Answer 1

You can have both JDK installed at the same time, if JDK 6 is the default, don't change anything to the startup script of cocoon, but in the script startup script of Neo4j, just set

export JAVA_HOME=/path_to_JDK7
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
