Do this: Delete all installations of Java. Install the Java SDK (self-extracting) into /opt/jdk1.6.0_16 (for example) Create a symbolic link: ln -s /opt/jdk1.6.0_16 /opt/jdk Edit $HOME/.bashrc : JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin Logout and log back in. This offers many advantages: You can install multiple versions of the SDK and need only switch a symbolic link. You know where all the files are located. You know exactly which version of Java is being used. No other versions are installed, so there cannot be any conflicts. I have done this for years and have never had any problems with Java on Linux. Also, stay away from the OpenJDK as its fonts are terrible to behold.       http://www.kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3105915.5;wap2 http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3105915.5;wap2 BEST WAY :http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2224321/problems-installing-java-ee-sdk-on-linux
