Gedit, which is a text editor, can't open Java bytecode.
A downloaded Java bytecode should simply written on hard disk.
Select another Java bytecode file, open contextual menu and check which software is proposed to open it.

.rpm is a kind of package which is different from Ubuntu's default debian package management system (.deb). however, you can install rpm packages also . first install
sudo apt-get install rpm

then install new package usting rpm package management system. it will bipass debian system .

Can you help with this problem?
