Install Openjdk7 in Ubuntu 11.10

Written by Mel Kham on October 17, 2011. Posted in Linux tutorials

The “sun-java6″ package is no longer available in the official Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot repositories. Lets show you some ways How to install java in your Ubuntu 11.10

- Install OpenJDK 7.0:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

- you can still use Java 6 from the ferramroberto PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin

Install Java 7 Browser plugin

All browsers are looking for java plgins under this directory ~/.mozilla/plugins .

a simbolic link for the newly installed Java into the Mozilla plugins directory:

- 32bit:

mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

- 64bit:

mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

Why are you calling this article "Install Oracle Java 7…" while the steps you mention install "OpenJDK 7.0" instead?
It’s just plain wrong, Oracle Java is not the same as OpenJDK.
