Hi...

No offense but did you try Googling this before you posted? I found this article very quickly. To uninstall version 1.7.0, take a look at the articles here or here.

Regards...

Seriously??? You've been working with Java for FOUR YEARS at this point, and have (many times) been asked to do basic research of your own. Also, you've been asked many times to provide details (how about what VERSION of CentOS???), but typing "yum update jdk" would be a great place to start, or even looking at the Java website for the latest version?

After at least four years, you should know the "rpm -ivh" command, to install new packages, and the "rpm -e" command to REMOVE them.

You can also just KEEP java-1.7.0-openjdk and install the new java-1.8.0-openjdk at the same time. You can use 'alternatives' to set things up to use one or the other. This is sometimes needed to keep from breaking legacy programs.
