After checking your Java Environment, downloaded and installed either an Oracle JDK or an Open JDK, now it's time to pack everything together.
At this point, you have a new JVM installed below your /usr/lib/jvm directory, you've a jinfo file tuned to your needs with a unique priority number.
Now it's time to link /etc/alternatives with our new installed JVM.
We provide an shell script in order to facilitate the work:

Usually we store those shell scripts under /usr/lib/jvm/tools. This one is called installDefaultJavaAlternatives.sh.
Don't forget to chmod your shell script.
user@machine:~$cd /usr/lib/jvm/tools user@machine:/usr/lib/jvm/tools$ sudo chmod 744 installDefaultJavaAlternatives.sh user@machine:/usr/lib/jvm/tools$ ls -al installDefaultJavaAlternatives.sh -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 6814 Jul 12 11:53 installDefaultJavaAlternatives.sh |
Then run it:
user@machine:/usr/lib/jvm/tools$ sudo ./installDefaultJavaAlternatives.sh |
Then run
