installing jdk in fedora 14
 

i am a new user of linux
i was trying to install jdk in fedora 14
i was installing it with the help of yum
i was writing command yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
in the terminal window
n then i got a number of statements at last i got the message no more mirrors to try
i am unable to understand this
so please help me

First question is why are you using Fedora 14? It's very old and updates are no longer available for it. First thing I would do is install 19 or 20.

"No more mirrors" probably just means that it can't find any repositories with Fedora 14 packages. Try again with Fedora 19/20 and you'll probably have a lot more luck.

Cheers

Sir i am using fedora 14. I cann't install 19 or 20 at this time so please tell me how can i download package for jav

Sir i m using fedora 14 and i cann't install fedora 19 or 20 at this time.so please tell me how can i download packages for java

If you're stuck with Fedora 14 then I can only offer google.

I put "install jdk on fedora 14" in google and the first link has a list of suggestions and a procedure.

Now the next question is: WHY can't you install the latest Fedora???

Fedora 14 is ancient...IF you can even find packages for it, it's going to be a challenge to even make them work at this point.

# 1 .
Fedora 14 was moved to the "Fedora Museum" years ago : The old archive →

BUT
that 3 year old version of java 5 or 6 ( no java7)
is going to have all kinds of NOW FIXED security holes

DO NOT USE IT !!!!!!!
and both java 5 and 6 are not even supported by the then SUN and now Oracle
