Ubuntu
sun-java6 package

Java 6 installation and setup

Asked by LCID Fire

I noticed some strange things when installing the sun java package. The vm is not setup in /etc/jvm - nor is a classpath variable created. Thus - for every java app the classpath has to be defined manually - or is there any simpler solution?

You can use 'sudo update-java-alternatives' to set up the desired default Java. Use 'update-java-alternatives --help' for a brief on how to run it.
