Install Java in Ubuntu 11.10 (2)

The previous manual download package and installation of Java eventually led to Android compilation failure. After a long time, I did not find the cause. Today I started to use the source to install Java and wrote down the experience or related links for backup.

Install sun-java6-jdk
When installing Sun JDK in Ubuntu 10.04, you will be prompted to not find the reported sun-java6-jdk, but the use of the tab key can clearly prompt sun-java6-jdk, very strange. Apt-Get will prompt the following information:

 
Package sun-java6-jdk is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, oris only available from another sourcee: Package sun-java6-jdk has no installation candidate
 

You can solve this problem by using the following methods:

 
Sudo add-Apt-repository "Deb http://archive.canonical.com/lucid partner" sudo apt-Get updatesudo apt-Get install sun-java6-jdk
 

After the installation is complete, configure the default JRE:

 
Sudo Update-alternatives -- config Java
 

Select 2.

Install sun-java5-jdk
The sun-java5-jdk is no longer available in the source of 10.04, you can use the source of a previous version:

Sudo add-Apt-repository "Deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty Multiverse" sudo add-Apt-repository "Deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-Updates Multiverse" sudo apt-Get updatesudo apt-Get install sun-java5-jdk
 

To use JDK 1.5, you can configure it as follows:

 
Sudo Update-alternatives -- config Java
 

Select a number.

If JDK 1.6 is used by default, run the following command to uninstall JDK 1.6:

 
Sudo apt-Get remove sun-java6-jdk

Note:
 

 
The Java configuration page appears during the installation process. I didn't know how to operate it at first. Later, I found that I needed to use the tab key to select OK to continue the installation. (Previously, the installation failed here. I quit directly and suddenly killed me !)
 

 
Running to the back of the display running ing sun-java6-jre, it feels like interrupted, OK key can not be clicked, then you need to click the tab key to select the OK key, and then continue. Next, you know!
