Installing Java on Ubuntu or Debian
Some linux distributions (notably Debian and Ubuntu) come with a free version of Java called GIJ (from the GCJ project) pre-installed:
Unfortunately GCJ is incomplete, and unable to run Atlassian Java applications without problems.
The solution is to install Sun's version of Java:
After doing this, make sure the correct version of Java is in use by running java -version:
If the GCJ Java is still being used, you will need to explicitly set Sun's Java as the default:
Setting JAVA_HOME
Some programs like Tomcat (bundled with most Atlassian products) need a JAVA_HOME variable set, so they know where Java is installed. This can be set system-wide in /etc/profile:
The variable will be set for new terminals:
Ubuntu Linux Install Sun Java Development Kit ( JDK ) and Java Runtime Environment ( JRE )
Q. How do I install Sun Java Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) under Ubuntu Linux? It appears that there are multiple JRE installed by default under Ubuntu. How do I select and use Sun JRE only? Can you explain steps required to set the environment to run java programs or apps?
A. Ubuntu Linux 7.10 has following packages from Sun:
=> sun-java6-bin : Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6
=> sun-java6-demo : Sun Java Development Kit (JDK) 6 demos
=> sun-java6-jdk : Sun Java Development Kit (JDK) 6
=> sun-java6-jre : Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6
Install Sun Java 6
To install proprietary Java, you must have the Multiverse repository enabled. Click on System > Administration > Software Source > Select Multisource > Close
Open a shell prompt (terminal) and type the following to install JDK and JRE:$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk
Setup the default Java version
Ubuntu Linux comes with update-java-alternatives utility to updates all alternatives belonging to one runtime or development kit for the Java language. To select, Sun's JVM as provided in Ubuntu 7.10, enter:$ sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
You also need to edit a file called /etc/jvm. This file defines the default system JVM search order. Each JVM should list their JAVA_HOME compatible directory in this file. The default system JVM is the first one available from top to bottom. Open /etc/jvm$ sudo vi /etc/jvm
Make sure /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun is added to the top of JVM list/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
At the end your file should read as follows:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj
/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-1.5.0-sun
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
/usr
Save and close the file.
Setup the environment variable
You also need to setup JAVA_HOME and PATH variable. Open your $HOME/.bash_profile or /etc/profile (system wide) configuration. Open your .bash_profile file:$ vi $HOME/.bash_profile
Append following line:export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
Save and close the file.
Test your new JDK
Type the following command to display version:$ java -version
Output:
java version "1.6.0_03" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode)
Try HelloWorld.java - first java program
$ vi HelloWorld.java
Append code:
public class HelloWorld { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello, World!"); } }
Save and close the file. Compile HelloWorld.java and execute program by typing following two instructions:$ javac HelloWorld.java
$ java HelloWorld
Output:
Hello, World!
