Installing Java on CentOS 6
I wrote this note because I spent endless time trying to install
the right java on my machine according to The reason is that Java site cannot even label things properly !! According to [Linux RPM] actually means jre-6u31-linux-i586-rpm.bin [Linux (self-extracting file)] actually means jre-6u31-linux-i586.bin [Linux x64] actually means jre-6u31-linux-x64.bin [Linux x64 RPM] actually means jre-6u31-linux-x64-rpm.bin Because of this, I downloaded the wrong jre-6u31-linux-x64.bin and it is very hard to tell before spending considerable time! Can they not label things more consistently ? I would recommend this: [Linux x86 RPM] jre-6u31-linux-i586-rpm.bin [Linux x86 self-extracting file] jre-6u31-linux-i586.bin [Linux x64 RPM] jre-6u31-linux-x64-rpm.bin [Linux x64 self-extracting file] jre-6u31-linux-x64.bin This is just plain simple but why do they have to label things in a very complicated way ? I hope my note will be helpful to others (or at least ask Java to do something!) |
Thanks for posting this.
