Install Sun's JDK 6 on Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)

In the following article I’m going to log a few steps to setup the latest Java SDK and Eclipse IDE on Ubuntu. It is the first in a series of posts I plan to write as I migrate my development environment from Windows to Ubuntu. Other frameworks, SDKs, APIs, tools, database or application servers will be covered separate posts later.

Ubuntu’s latest distribution ships with a very old version of Eclipse (3.2.2) still. On my old system I sometimes dealt with different SDK versions simultaneously, so I didn’t want to rely on the package manager alone, too. I started by downloading the latest Java SDK from http://java.sun.com. I downloaded jdk-6u14-linux-i586.bin and saved the file in /usr/local/, made it executable and ran the file

chmod +x jdk-6u14-linux-i586.bin
./jdk-6u14-linux-i586.bin

I extracted all files to /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_14. Next I added an environment variable JAVA_HOME and added the bin-path to the PATH variable.

$ gedit /etc/bash.bashrc

And add:

# Java SDK
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.6.0_14
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

The command java -version should now display

java version “1.6.0_14″
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)
Eclipse

Eclipse could be installed as easily as the Java SDK. I downloaded the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers from Eclipse.org, extracted the archive to /usr/local, and added it to the PATH variable as well.

$ gedit tar -xvf eclipse-java-galileo-linux-gtk.tar.gz
$ gedit /etc/bash.bashrc

# Eclipse
export PATH=/usr/local/eclipse:$PATH

Finally, the Java SDK has to be added to Eclipse’s Preferences in Window|Preferences|Java|Installed JREs|Add. The dialog is pretty self-explanatory.

That’s it for now. I might add additional steps to configure and fine-tune this development environment later.

Happy Testing...!!

Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)

Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s. Java applications are compiled to bytecode, which at runtime is either interpreted or compiled to native machine code for execution.

The language itself derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities. JavaScript, a scripting language, shares a similar name and has similar syntax, but is not directly related to Java.

Currently Ubuntu has the following Java packages

sun-java6-bin – Contains the binaries
sun-java6-demo – Contains demos and examples
sun-java6-doc – Contains the documentation
sun-java6-fonts – Contains the Lucida TrueType fonts from the JRE
sun-java6-jdk – Contains the metapackage for the JDK
sun-java6-jre – Contains the metapackage for the JRE
sun-java6-plugin – Contains the plug-in for Mozilla-based browsers
sun-java6-source – Contains source files for the JDK

Installing the Java Runtime Environment

First you need to check multiverse repository enabled or not after that open a terminal window. Since you are going to be installing the JRE and the web browser plug-in, you’ll be using the following command from a terminal

$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts

Once it downloads the packages and begins the installation, you’ll get a screen that contains the Sun Operating System Distributor License for Java and hit Enter to continue.
You’ll see a dialog that asks you if you agree with the DLJ license terms. Select Yes, and hit Enter; the JRE will finish installing.

Testing Java Runtime Environment

You’ll want to confirm that your system is configured properly for Sun’s JRE. This is a two-step process.First, check that the JRE is properly installed by running the following command from a terminal.

java -version

You should get similar output

Testing Java Plugin for Firefox
open Firefox and typing about:plugins in the address bar and check for java plugin
