I'm trying to upgrade my java installation on Oracle Linux 6.5. My VM came with jdk1.6 and I installed jdk1.7 (via rpm). But "java -version" still shows 1.6. As root, I tried /usr/bin/alternatives.
sudo -su root
/usr/sbin/alternatives –install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_55/bin/java 17055
But it's not working. I'm getting a usage error but I cannot see what's wrong with my command.
usage: alternatives --install <link> <name> <path> <priority>
....
I checked the link and the path and they look good (I think).
MY-MACHINE:/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_55/bin # ls -al /usr/bin/java
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 22 Jun 12 10:37 /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java
MY-MACHINE:/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_55/bin # ls -al /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_55/bin/java
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7718 Mar 17 22:05 /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_55/bin/java
Can anyone else see what I'm doing wrong? Cheers.
应该是- --install
两个连字符,而不是– –install
破折号或- -install
一个连字符。
What gives:
java -version
Check your alternatives java config as root with:
alternatives --display java
You can reconfigure your java setting to point to the Oracle JDK 7 binaries with
alternatives --config java
If you had installed the Oracle JDK 7 Update 55 per:
rpm -ihv jdk-7u55-linux-x64.rpm
The install routine should have created a folder/subfolders and sym-links under /usr/java like this:
default -> /usr/java/latest
jdk1.7.0_55
latest -> /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_55
The following is important when you are using alternatives:
1.) Do the install right (root).In your case:
alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/latest/bin/java 17055
2.) Set the alternatives (root)
alternatives --set java /usr/java/latest/bin/java
3.) Config the alternatives (root)
alternatives --config java
On my Oracle Linux 6.6 I get 3 choices:
There are 3 programs which provide 'java'.
Selection Command
-----------------------------------------------
* 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
2 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
+ 3 /usr/java/latest/bin/java
Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number:3
Choose 3 and you are done!
4.) Proove your Java Env
java -version
it should show you the Oracle JDK 7 Update 55
java version "1.7.0_55"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_55-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.55-b03, mixed mode)
Hint: If you want to use javac, javaws or other tools from the Oracle JDK 7 then you must do this procedure accordingly.
