Minecraft in Wine
I'm currently running a Windows version of Minecraft in Wine (don't ask why...), and wanted to know if there was a way to configure the java virtual machine which is run in wine so as to run Minecraft in a ramdisk machine. I know if I was running a linux native version, I could use the command
What I would like to be able to do is configure my java VM in wine similarly... any tips?
Wow, this is... Confusing.
There is no windows/linux version of a java application. Just JVM is aware of the OS, the application is not.
In fedora you have the "alternatives" tool.
eg:
$> alternatives --config java
You can add the wine java as an alternative whit the --install option and then set it as default.
I think this is what your question was about.
Regards.

functionally identical Linux/UNIX services, such as the sendmail and
Postfix mail servers (MTAs). To be useful the services must have
identical interfaces for both programs and users. For instance, all MTAs
communicate for the SMTP protocol and, because sendmail (the archetype
of MTAs), provides the 'sendmail' command line utility which can be used
by programs as well as people to send mail messages, every alternative
to the sendmail MTA has to provide such a program and it must have
identical functionality to the Sendmail sendmail or using an alternative
such as Postfix or Qmail would break the system.
You'll notice that 'alternatives', correctly, doesn't deal with
databases. This is because they all have their own SQL dialect and these
are mutually incompatible to a greater or lesser extent, with Oracle and
MySQL being the most deviant dialects.
There is a set of Java alternatives, but this seems to be restricted to
OpenJava and gcj. Oracle/Sun Java, which I use, is not an available
alternative. Fortunately I can easily tune OpenJava out by adjusting its
place in the PATH list, so alternatives becomes irrelevant for this
switch.

Sorry for the confusion... I'll try to be a bit more clear in what I'm asking.
If I was running a native linux version of Minecraft, in order to set the memory usage for the JVM running Minecraft, I understand that I would only need to run the command
However, I'm just tooling around a little bit just to see how well I can get a Windows version running on wine, so I am trying to figure out how to set Wine to do the same thing with the JVM when it runs Minecraft.
I should probably make sure to be clear that running Minecraft in wine require running a windows native version of Java, so I'm using the Windows version of SunJava.
So what I am trying to figure out how to do is configure a JVM in SunJava run through Wine, and then force my Minecraft.exe to run using that JVM.

though of course it would be a good idea to start by running some pure
Java app or game under the Windows Java to confirm that the JVM works OK
under Wine. Then you'll have a fairly clear indication that the problem
is in the JNI part of Minecraft if it falls over.
