Installing JDKDownload JDK from Oracle site http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloadsThe installation file I use is jdk-7u2-linux-i586.tar.gz.Change directory to install the JDK code in /opt cd /optextract the JDK files sudo tar -xvzf <location of downloaded JDK>/jdk-7u2-linux-i586.tar.gz This will put the JDK into the newly created directory named jdk1.7.0_02Update environment variables to point to the newly installed JDK by editing the /etc/environment file. sudo nano /etc/environment Add the JAVA_HOME variable, and add JDK bin to the PATH variable. JAVA_HOME="/opt/jdk1.7.0_01" PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/jdk1.7.0_01/bin"Refresh the environment variable. source /etc/environmentVerify that the updated environment variables are in place and the path to the JDK is valid $ echo $JAVA_HOME /opt/jdk1.7.0_01 $ echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/jdk1.7.0_01/bin $ javac -version javac 1.7.0_01

Update Java alternative list. You want to set a higher priority for the new JDK.(If you have alreadyinstalled open-jdk) $ update-alternatives --verbose --query java Link: java Status: auto Best: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java Value: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java Alternative: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java Priority: 1061 Slaves: java.1.gz /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/man/man1/java.1.gzSo, let’s make the new JDK our default… sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jdk1.7.0_02/bin/java update-alternatives: using /opt/jdk1.7.0_01/bin/java to provide /usr/bin/java (java) in auto mode.Now type java -version java version "1.7.0_02" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_01-b08) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.1-b02, mixed mode)
