As you probably know, Oracle denied to distribute jre\/jdk of Oracle Java directly in linux distributions. Exchange with OpenJDK packages was cruel, anyway there are few ways how to install original Java environment again.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1) Uninstall anything similar to jdk\/jre from Open*. It should look like:<\/p>\n

ji@linux-ss0s:~\/install\/JetBrains> java -version<\/strong><\/span><\/span>
\njava version „1.5.0“<\/span>
\ngij (GNU libgcj) version 4.8.1 20130909 [gcc-4_8-branch revision 202388]<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Download and install Java jdk from this URL<\/a> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

3) Update\/install package update-alternatives from repositories (zypper in update-alternatives<\/span> )<\/p>\n

4) Play with update-alternatives utility \ud83d\ude42 It‘ s simply like a link creation with some additional features (in fact multi-versions management + priority setting)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
