I have redhat 6.5 x64 and java preinstalled on it. The command java - version
shows:
java version "1.7.0_45"OpenJDK Runtime Environment (rhel-2.4.3.3.el6-x86_64 u45-b15)OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)
The command /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
shows:
There are 2 programs which provide 'java'. Selection Command-----------------------------------------------*+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java 2 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
I need to install Oracle java 7.0_21. So I run a command yum install jdk-7u21-linux-x64.rpm
and get at the end:
Installed: jdk.x86_64 2000:1.7.0_21-fcsComplete!
So then I run again /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
shows: and it shows the same as before Oracle java installation.
Why just installed java from Orcale is not in the list?
P.S.
This answer tells that --config
does not work with bin
packages but I run yum install jdk-7u21-linux-x64.rpm
so it is not the same case. Is it?
