Is there a reason the deb package is ignoring my sun java 1.6 (64-bit)?
1. LWOther version works fine with this java.
2. At some point I made this java the default and point to it. Even though there should supposedly no other versions of java installed after using
How to completely uninstall Java? - Ask Ubuntu Code:
parallels@parallels-Parallels-Virtual-Platform:~/Desktop$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
[sudo] password for parallels:
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java 1061 auto mode
1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java 1061 manual mode
* 2 /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.6.0_43/bin/java 1 manual mode
Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
parallels@parallels-Parallels-Virtual-Platform:~/Desktop$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_43"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_43-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01, mixed mode)
(I have no idea why the ubuntu system still references the java installed originally or the 1.6 open source by me. I removed references to them in the install history.)
Yep also tried:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/<your version of java>
. . . export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre1.6.0_43/bin/java
export PATH=${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin
. . . (New location of Java to read from)
echo $JAVA_HOME
echo $PATH
What else can I try?
