Replace openjdk with oracle-jdk on Ubuntu
I have an ubuntu system and I want to replace my openjdk with oracle-jdk.
However if I remove my open-jdk and then install oracle-jdk, when I try to install some packages they want to install openjdk and I don't want this.
Is there any way to install those packages on top of oracle-jdk? One of those packages is freemind.

Which packages require open-jdk that you want to install? (besides freemind)

I caught oracle-jdk adding itself toPATH
in/etc/profile.d/jdk.sh
. Removing this file and starting a fresh shell allowedupdate-alternatives
to do its job.

You can completely remove the OpenJDK
and fresh Install Oracle Java JDK
by following these steps:
Remove
OpenJDK
completely by this command:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-*
Download the
Oracle Java JDK
here.
Note: download appropriate file, for example if your system is x64 Ubuntu (i.e, Debian) the download file is named like this:
jdk-8u51-linux-x64.tar.gz
To find which version is your OS, check here
Create a folder named
java
in/usr/local/
by this command:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/java
Copy the Downloaded file in the directory
/usr/local/java
. To do this,cd
into directory where downloaded file is located and use this command for copying that file to/usr/local/java/
:
sudo cp -r jdk-8u51-linux-x64.tar.gz /usr/local/java/
CD into
/usr/local/java/
directory and extract that copied file by using this command:
sudo tar xvzf jdk-8u51-linux-x64.tar.gz
After extraction you must see a folder named
jdk1.8.0_51
.
Update
PATH
file by opening/etc/profile
file by the commandsudo nano /etc/profile
and paste the following at the end of the file:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_51
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export JAVA_HOME
export PATH
Save and exit.
Tell the system that the new Oracle Java version is available by the following commands:
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_51/bin/java" 1
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_51/bin/javac" 1
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javaws" "javaws" "/usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_51/bin/javaws" 1
Make Oracle Java JDK as default by this following commands:
sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_51/bin/java
sudo update-alternatives --set javac /usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_51/bin/javac
sudo update-alternatives --set javaws /usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_51/bin/javaws
Reload sytem wide PATH /etc/profile by this command:
source /etc/profile
Reboot your system.
Check Java JDK version by
java -version
command . If installation is succesful, it will display like the following:
java version "1.8.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-xxx)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 25.51-xxx, mixed mode)
That's it!
Note: We Assumed that the downloaded file is named jdk-8u51-linux-x64.tar.gz
and used this name in all the commands used in steps 2, 4 and 5. It may depends on the type of O.S, processor type (i.e., 32bit or 64bit)
1
Beside this is the correct way to manually install oracle-jdk there is a package available from WebUpd8 PPA which will be updated, too. So there is no need to install every new version manually. See my answer here: askubuntu.com/questions/466166/…

Instead of using the directory jdk1.8.0_51, create a symlink named just "jdk" to this directory and next time you update just extract the JDK tarball and recreate the symlink and you're done.

Please note that if you want to download the JDK in Ubuntu Server (without GUI), you can use the following command:wget --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/9.0.4+11/c2514751926b4512b076cc82f959763f/jdk-9.0.4_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz"
You can always copied the latest version by go back the Oracle download page and generate a new one.

You don't need to remove openjdk in order to use / install the oracle's jdk. Just install the oracle's jdk and configure which java you want to use by configuring it with:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
You can find more help here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
I need a way to have only one java on my ubuntu. tnx.

This is a great answer. Groovy on Debian jessie forces openjdk to be installed, but the work I do requires (don't ask) the Oracle JDK for compilation. This option allowed me to leave both openjdk and oracle jdk installed so everything plays nicely. Thanks!

Tested in Ubuntu 14.04/16.04. In three steps:
Install the
oracle-java7-installer
(ororacle-java8-installer
) from the webupd8team repository
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
Make sure it works with the following command:
java -version
It should display something similar to:
java version "1.7.0_76"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_76-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.76-b04, mixed mode)
(Optional) Remove the open-jdk if you really want/need to:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-*
You can find more information here
Followed your directions and got aUnable to find java executable. Check JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables.

Got this when adding the repo:W: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/natecarlson/maven3/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file. N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.

After removing openjdk, try this approach that worked for me:
Install oracle jdk 7 on ubuntu server (tested with ubuntu 12.0.4)
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
some more info here: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/java
(note to adapt this for your version of jdk)

Beside this is the correct way to manually install oracle-jdk there is a package available from WebUpd8 PPA which will be updated, too. So there is no need to install every new version manually. See my answer here: askubuntu.com/questions/466166/…

Instead of using the directory jdk1.8.0_51, create a symlink named just "jdk" to this directory and next time you update just extract the JDK tarball and recreate the symlink and you're done.

Please note that if you want to download the JDK in Ubuntu Server (without GUI), you can use the following command:wget --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/9.0.4+11/c2514751926b4512b076cc82f959763f/jdk-9.0.4_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz"
You can always copied the latest version by go back the Oracle download page and generate a new one.

You don't need to remove openjdk in order to use / install the oracle's jdk. Just install the oracle's jdk and configure which java you want to use by configuring it with:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
You can find more help here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
I need a way to have only one java on my ubuntu. tnx.

This is a great answer. Groovy on Debian jessie forces openjdk to be installed, but the work I do requires (don't ask) the Oracle JDK for compilation. This option allowed me to leave both openjdk and oracle jdk installed so everything plays nicely. Thanks!

Tested in Ubuntu 14.04/16.04. In three steps:
Install the
oracle-java7-installer
(ororacle-java8-installer
) from the webupd8team repository
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
Make sure it works with the following command:
java -version
It should display something similar to:
java version "1.7.0_76"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_76-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.76-b04, mixed mode)
(Optional) Remove the open-jdk if you really want/need to:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-*
You can find more information here
Followed your directions and got aUnable to find java executable. Check JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables.

After removing openjdk, try this approach that worked for me:
Install oracle jdk 7 on ubuntu server (tested with ubuntu 12.0.4)
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
some more info here: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/java
(note to adapt this for your version of jdk)

I caught oracle-jdk adding itself to
PATH
in/etc/profile.d/jdk.sh
. Removing this file and starting a fresh shell allowedupdate-alternatives
to do its job.– jozxyqk
