[SOLVED] OpenSuSE 13.1 does not come with javac?

pschmitt · 08-25-2014, 10:47 AM

I have installed openSuSE 13.1 on my computer.
Output of

rpm -qa | grep java yields:

libjavascriptcoregtk-3_0-0-2.2.1-1.1.x86_64
java-1_7_0-openjdk-headless-1.7.0.6-24.13.5.x86_64
timezone-java-2013h-1.1.noarch
libjavascriptcoregtk-1_0-0-2.2.1-1.1.x86_64
java-1_7_0-openjdk-1.7.0.6-24.13.5.x86_64
javapackages-tools-2.0.1-4.1.2.x86_64

But, javac cannot be found. So I suspect that only the runtime is
installed but not the development package of Java.
Is that a correct analysis?

I want to proceed to download and install

from the site http://de.opensuse.org/Sun_Java

But, before I get myself into trouble I wanted to ask the experts hopefully
listening in on this forum.
Do I really have to trigger the download myself, will an appropriate zypper command not do that for me?

Thanks Peter

you really should NOT be using "rpm" to look for software
it will only tell you what is already installed

use the packagemanager
yast / "install and remove software"

or in the terminal do a search

Code:

su -
zypper se java

Thanks John VV, for your comment.
In fact, I first wanted to find out what is installed on my machine after installing OpenSuSE 13.1.
The documentation is a bit weak concerning the Java part.

I will follow your suggestions later. I am typing this answer from a different machine.

the search with zypper will show you what is installed
there will be a "i" infront of the name in the output

Code:

i | java-1_7_0-openjdk  | Java runtime environment based on OpenJDK-> | package

as to the java c

Code:

zypper se javac
