My java version shows still 1.4 how do i change to 1.6(That i just installed)?

1) su

2)
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_26/bin/java 2

3) /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
.... And then select the new "sun java".

.

A clue? Are you using Fedora? If so, try galternatives. Yum-install it if need be. track the JDK. In the entry, the newly installed version should be available, check mark it, give it a high ranking and, if needed, delete the entry of the old version.

That should do...

Hi,

Use galternatives, after install of the other JVM, navigate to the item in question, add your alternative and rate it as high as possible.

You may possibly want do delete the other one, it will not delete the JVM, just the choice the system has...

Merged the two VERY closely related threads.
