I have ubuntu 13.10 and I am trying to use a disk that contains a book, How to program Java, 7th edition. It is the Linux version CD and I can't figure out what program to use so I can look at the files on it.

All of the files are in .class format. I have used the windows version on another pc and it seems to work fine with jgrasp, is there something else I should be using to edit and create java programs with the .class extension?

Let me suggest you have HelloWorld.class file inside some directory. To run it, you simply should type in this directory:

java HelloWorld

To run jar archive, use -jar key:

java -jar MyProgram.jar

To select java machine, type:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

To install Oracle JDK:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-jdk7-installer

After installation, you can select it as default java.
