For a variety of reasons, I needed a means to identify a specific Java installation directory based upon the name of that directory, rather than its version information. This PR modifies the
jenv add
command to create an alias that is the basename of the path to the added Java installation.The basename can also be a symbolic link to a specific Java installation, for added flexibiliy.
For example:
The only issue I can foresee are clashes with the resulting additional aliases, but this is a latent issue with the
jenv
alias creation code.This appears to address issues #68 (through use of a symbolic link) and #223 and possibly others, as I haven't had a chance to go through all of the outstanding issues as yet.
