How to Install Oracle Java 6 in Ubuntu 12.10

1. Download jdk 6 from Orcal. [link]

2. Extract JDK.

chmod +x jdk-6u32-linux-x64.bin
sudo ./jdk-6u32-linux-x64.bin
sudo mkdir -p /opt/lib/jvm/
sudo mv jdk1.6.0_32/ /opt/lib/jvm/


3. Install Oracle Java to System.
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" \
"/opt/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32/bin/java" 1

sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" \
"/opt/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32/bin/javac" 1

sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javaws" "javaws" \
"/opt/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32/bin/javaws" 1


4. Alternative to Oracle Java

sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac
sudo update-alternatives --config javaws

If you haven’t openjdk installed, you can skip the step 4.
