Java is about:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Communities: the https://www.jcp.org/[Java Comunity Process] to define
|
|
|
|
|
the platform, but also
|
|
|
|
|
https://community.oracle.com/community/java/jug[Java User Groups]
|
|
|
|
|
* Platforms (JVM, JRE ...) to run applications on PC, mobiles, embedded
|
|
|
|
|
devices https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(software_platform)
|
|
|
|
|
* Programming languages (Java is the most popular, but there are Scala,
|
|
|
|
|
Groovy, Clojure ...)

What do you want to do:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* If you came here because an *application ask for Java* (or JRE, JVM)
|
|
|
|
|
*to be installed*, then simply install .
|
|
|
|
|
* If it still does not work:
|
|
|
|
|
** Install javafx and icedtea-web packages as well.
|
|
|
|
|
** Lastly, and if the application *ask specifically for
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/index.html[Oracle Java]*:
|
|
|
|
|
See here #Oracle_version.
|
|
|

JRE JDK JVM JSE ...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|

Some vocabulary, if you are lost:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* *JRE* Java Runtime Environment. Required to run Java code and
|
|
|
|

applications. Install .

* *JVM* Java Virtual Machine. Main component of the JRE.
|
|
|
|
|
* *JDK* Java Development Kit. Required only for development, coding.
|
|
|
|
|
* *SDK* Software Development Kit. idem JDK
|
|
|
|
|
* *JavaWS* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Web_Start[Java Web Start]
|
|
|
|
|
is a framework to start application from the Internet
|
|
|
|
|
* *JavaFX* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaFX[JavaFX] is a plateform
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

[[what-is-in-java-openjdk-package]]

What is in Java OpenJDK package
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For most users, it is just another system library. It is not an
|
|
|
|
|
application with a GUI, but it is required by some other applications to
|
|
|
|
|
run. You might see a _OpenJDK Policy tool_ desktop application that
|
|
|
|
|
comes with the package, but you should not have to use it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Beware that JavaFX and JavaWS are packaged separately!

|
|
Multiple implementations
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fedora provides the Free . If this Open Source stack does not fulfil
|
|
|
|
|
your requirements. Alternatives can be installed alongside or
|
|
|
|
|
separately.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The **J**ava **C**ommunity **P**rocess defines the specifications of the
|
|
|
|
|
platform that many implements (IBM J9, Jikes, Zing, Zulu Dalvik ...). We
|
|
|
|
|
will only focus on Oracle here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Multiple implementations can be installed side-by-side without
|
|
|
|
|
interfering:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The link:alternatives_system[alternatives system] allows to switch
|
|
|
|
|
from one to another.
|
|
|
|
|
* An application can directly reference a specific Java installation
|
|
|
|
|
* Some applications include a java platform, it is then transparent for
|
|
|
|
|
the user. (But the package is bigger.)

[[oracle-version]]
|
|
|
|
|
Oracle version
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some applications still ask for Oracle's implementation. It is mostly
|
|
|
|
|
based on the OpenJDK Open Source project, but there is proprietary code
|
|
|
|
|
and Fedora does not package non-free software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing Oracle Java is fine. Just beware *not* to use Oracle *RPM*,
|
|
|
|
|
as it will kill OpenJDK default packages!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Oracle provides a tarball:
|
|
|
|
|
https://java.com/en/download/help/linux_x64_install.xml
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We recommend to simply unpack the archives (tarball) to your home folder
|
|
|
|
|
and set to path if necessary.

[[switching-alternatives]]
|
|
|
|
|
Switching alternatives
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you installed multiple Java implementations or version, you can
|
|
|
|
|
configure your system to use one or another.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Developers*: beware that javac has its own independent alternative.
|
|
|
|
|
i.e. to change the JDK, use _alternatives ... javac_!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Switching is done using the link:alternatives_system[alternatives
|
|
|
|
|
system] (_also used to change some other subsystems_). Java's subsystem
|
|
|
|
|
name is surprisingly _java_ and typical commands include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
# alternatives --display java
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
# alternatives --config java
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See alternative's own documentation for more information for usage and
|
|
|
|
|
parts involved.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Should be noted that JRE implementations installed outside Fedora
|
|
|
|
|
distribution, may not support alternatives and thus not be visible
|
|
|
|
|
there. Then the symbolic links under directory _/etc/alternatives_ must
|
|
|
|
|
be manually fixed.

Java packages in Fedora
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are many aliases for OpenJDK package, see
|
|
|
|
|
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/java-1.8.0-openjdk.git/tree/java-1.8.0-openjdk.spec
|
|
|
|
|
or do "dnf repoquery --provides java-1.8.0-openjdk".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can use any of the following names:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* java
|
|
|
|
|
* java-1.8.0
|
|
|
|
|
* java-1.8.0-openjdk
|
|
|
|
|
* java-openjdk
|
|
|
|
|
* jre
|
|
|
|
|
* jre-1.8.0
|
|
|
|
|
* jre-1.8.0-openjdk
|
|
|
|
|
* jre-openjdk
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
might be the most safe (until 1.8 is EOL.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Note* that Java Web Start (*JavaWS*) and *JavaFX* are packaged
|
|
|
|
|
separately 'icedtea-web' and 'javafx' respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Typically, without JavaFX, you may have error like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
java -jar scram.jar
|
|
|
|
|
Error: Could not find or load main class com.frequal.scram.designer.jfx.Main
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
dnf install icedtea-web javafx
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
