How will the jdk bundles I have installed in ~/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines be sorted with respect to the ones installed in/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines?

I have MLVM versions of Java I build and plan to install in ~/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines

I'd like to be able to easily switch from one to another in the command line for tools running in a specific shell invocation.
