Layered on top of operating systems, the JRE runs Java applications by supplying the class libraries and environment. It is compatible with Apple Mac, Linux, and Microsoft Windows electronics on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. I'll report back if I ever get it working, and thanks for your help.Java Runtime Environment is a free program that lets people run Java computer software on their devices. My feeble brain tells me that I shouldn't need OpenJDK if I'm installing the real deal, but life wasn't meant to be this easy. well, more on the hate than the love side, I think. I'd better go and put OpenJDK back and start again! Java has always been a love/hate relationship. Note: leave openJDK itself installed, otherwise malfunctions may occur! I didn't quite get to the bit shortly after the IcedTea reference that said: Please consult the documentation for more" "GCJ has been detected as the current Java virtual machine. long story short and trying to figure out why I can't get CrashPlan to work, I try downloading Eclipse to see what it reckoned, and it says the following: I read the 64-bit instructions, saw the bit about removing IcedTea completely, so jumped right into YaST and removed anything that looked like java. For me I keep around java 1.5 1.6 and 1.7 along both sun and open versions where available and with this I can easily change what the systems default is.Īnd gave instructions that demand you pay close attention.don't skipĪny steps.I think you're right about the bit above. And it sets up the symbolic links so that its the default jre/jdk on your system.

Then you give this script, so set JAVA to the location of the exploded version of the jdk.

Its also meant for 64bit, will need to be tweaked to handle the plugins correctly for 32bit.īut essentially what you do is download and extract java. Then it makes sure you really want to link to your new version of java. This requires root to run, so sudo or run as su (dont have it checking to ensure that).
