Switch between java installed?

[erikja]

Hi.

How do I switch between different java's installed here on ubuntu 10.04 ?

[QIII]

Do you mean tell your machine to use Sun Java instead of OpenJDK or visa versa?

I don't use OpenJDK, so I can't tell you. But to get Sun Java to be your alternative, open the terminal and type


update-java-alternatives -s sun-6-java

Someone will be by shortly to tell you how to get it back to OpenJDK.

Thank you for your reply. It's the vice versa I need :-)
From Sun Java to OpenJDK.
Trust that someone will give me the needed information here, TIA.

Is this what you're waiting for?

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-openjdk
