I just setup a new laptop with
Ubuntu 13.10. As I wanted to run some Java applications, I tried to
see the version of javac on my machine, only to realize that nothing
was installed.
Now the question, which JDK to install.
I realized the best option was openjdk-7-jdk (To install Sun/ Oracle JDK, refer to the steps in this post). So I ran the following
command
$sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
This should start the installation
process. After installation is complete, you should see a screen
indicating the process completed successfully.
Finally, we can validate by checking
the version of the Java compiler.
Perfect, we have JDK installed!
If you have multiple JDKs installed, you can read this post to configure the one you need as default.
