The JAVA situation

Open Aqua1ung opened this issue 1 year ago • 15 comments

I installed the java-basic bundle, yet all my Java-based applications complain that they cannot find any Java installed on my system. What am I doing wrong??

Does installing this bundle requires further (so far undocumented) steps in order to make Java work on one's system? Is this bundle not self-contained?

Interestingly, whereis java returns java: /usr/bin/java, which does not seem to be a symlink. Furthermore, java -version also complains that the java command cannot be found, as there's no JAVA_HOME variable set. Doing some further digging reveals a Java installation ... of sorts in /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.19.0.

Anyone care to disentangle this mystery? What do we have to do to get an honest-to-goodness Java installation on our CL systems?
