在Ubuntu 16.04中执行命令“ sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer”时出错

Question

I am getting the following error after execution of the command "sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer"

Note: I have an application which have the dependency in Java 6.I feel java 6 is obsolete. But still is there any other way to install this.

Error:

Oracle JDK 6 is NOT installed.

Answer 1

You might want to download the jre 6 manually from the oracle website JRE SE 6

Edit: After accepting the license, you will be asked to login. You can register a free account and continue to download

Answer 2

It seems like it is no longer possible to download java 6, Oracle does not provided it to public anymore. The only way to download such version is to have a support contract with Oracle. Have a look at this post
