Installing a new java version in opensuse 11

English Applications
1

Hi,

I want to upgrade my jre/jdk on opsensuse 11.
Currently I have jdk6u7 installed, and I’d like to upgrade it to jdk6u10.

Doesn’t matter to me if I use the sun rpm or simply extract it in my home directory… my problem is all the symlinks.

Suse seems to use /usr/bin/java which is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/java, which is in turn a symlink to /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun/bin/java

I can easily change the /etc/alternatives/java link to point to my new jre, however, looking at the other stuff in /etc/alternatives/ there are a lot of other java related links.

Do I need to update all of them?

(here’s what I mean by a lot)

You may find /usr/sbin/update-alternatives useful.

Good luck.

Thanks…
looked into update-alternatives and was able to get java successfully updated. It wasn’t fun though.

Here’s what I did:
ran the rpm install for the new java version.
using update-alternatives --display I grabbed the list for java, javac, and javaplugin and then modified them so I could install the new versions.

java

javaplugin

update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/browser-plugins/javaplugin.so javaplugin /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_10/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so 300

Then for each one, I ran update-alternatives --config, and chose the new versions. Everything seems to work and is using the new java version now.
