add a (maybe hidden) option to specify the used java binary

[mlindauer]

this is also relevant for pysmac/pysmac/init.py

I don't think this is really necessary. You could specify which binary the command 'java' calls on the command line via an alias. This gives you full control, and you could even specify additional parameters to java that way. You could also create a symlink in the directory where you start SpySMAC. IMHO, these two options are flexible enough. What do you think?

Hi,

I tried both of our ways.
The alias does not work. I suspect the reason is that you don't execute smac via shell.
Naively using a symlink failed also, because it depends on the PATH variable. If PATH does not begins with "." (which is not the case by default), it will first use the system installed java. So I had to first modify my PATH variable to use the symlink... very hacky

[sfalkner]

Fair point. It all depends on the cluster setup. It would have to be integrated into pySMAC, so could you please open an issue there as well? Thanks.

funny ;-)
there is no issue tracker for pySMAC. coincidence?

[sfalkner]

Not on purpose. I added one, so go crazy :)
