I'm having a small problem. I've been trying to work Minecraft into working using Wine. Over the past few hours, I've been working with Java over and over (long story, I'll keep it relevant) and have finally come to an answer. I need to install Oracle Java, or Sun-JRE as more commonly known. I found this answer https://askubuntu.com/a/56119 and followed the instructions. I changed the file name where need-be in the commands for the newer version, placing the extracted file into /usr/lib/jvm but when I type this command:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
I am met with this:
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java 1061 auto mode
1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java 1061 manual mode
* 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java 1051 manual mode
Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
This confuses me, as I followed the steps in the answer linked previously by copy/pasting and editing for the file name. The name of the file I used is Linux x86 32.25 MB jre-7u2-linux-i586.tar.gz. The ls -ld command returned the following:
ls -ld /usr/lib/jvm/*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2011-09-27 12:25 /usr/lib/jvm/default-java -> java-6-openjdk
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2011-10-22 01:14 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk -> java-6-openjdk

drwx------ 6 ubuntu ubuntu 240 2011-11-17 21:39 /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0_02
Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance.
