Why can't I install the Java JDK

Question

I ran the script here: https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6/blob/master/oab-java.sh and it succeed. But why do I get:

ryan@palms ~ $ /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java -version
java version "1.7.0_07"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.3.2) (7u7-2.3.2a-1ubuntu1)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 23.2-b09, mixed mode)

Answer 1

You must change your default java.

• sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/full/path/to/bin/java" 1
• sudo update-alternatives --config java
