I am getting below result, Does it mean I am having JDK 1.7.0_45 and JRE is 1.42 ? Please advise.

Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number:
It would appear that you have two versions of Java installed:
The Java on your PATH is Java 1.7.0. I think it is an Oracle build rather than a build from your Linux system's package repository.
The Java configured using alternatives looks like a GCJ Java that is compatible with Java 1.4.2. It was probably installed from your package repository. IMO, it is inadvisable to use this from a technical standpoint. In fact, I would recommend uninstalling it.
Actually I am getting "Unsupported major.minor version 51.0" error after uploading a external jar file to Informatica powercenter Java transformation.
That implies that Informatica is using the Java 1.4.2 installation.
Now, the version of Java that an application uses will depend on what version of Java the application's launcher / launch script is using. That could depend on a number of things:
If the launcher uses an absolute path for the java command, then that is what will use.
If the launcher uses a simple name (e.g. java) then the version used will depend on the launcher's $PATH. This is probably what is happening ... and the $PATH used is different from your shell's $PATH.
So what is the solution?
You could add the Oracle Java install to the alternatives system. See man alternatives or Google for instructions using "java oracle alternatives install"
You could tweak the $PATH used by the application's launcher.
Depending on your Linux distro, you could install an OpenJDK 1.7.0 JDK or JRE from the package repos. That will (should) add the new installed Java to the alternatives database, so that you can select it instead of the old GCJ 1.4.2 installation.

I need to install open JDK in my Windows 64-bit os. I have used ORACLE open JDK and downloaded from the below link: https://jdk.java.net/8/
While downloading I have selected Accept License Agreement and installed.
But, after the installation when I tried checking the version using command java -version it's showing like regular JDK.
Can anyone help me to get where I went wrong? Or is there any better vendor to install open JDK in windows. Thanks.
Amazon offers an open jdk for Windows (and other OS), but just for Java 8, 11 and 16.
You can download it from here: https://aws.amazon.com/es/corretto/
After installing it and running the java -version command, you will see something like this:
>java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_242"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-8.242.08.1 (build 1.8.0_242-b08)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-8.242.08.1 (build 25.242-b08, mixed mode)
You need to set your java version in environment of you machine and target your JDK8 bin folder, or any JDK that you want to have at your disposal when you run java -version.
The best way to do this is to use the builds from adoptopenjdk. They're very high quality and come in multiple variants for Windows ranging from zip files to MSI installers. Dead simple to install JDK 8, 11 or 15.
But, after the installation when I tried checking the version using command java -version it's showing like regular JDK.
This is because JAVA_HOME is pointing to your old JDK. You need to go to Control Panel and change the Environment Variables. Just do a search on Windows 10 for "Environment Variables" to easily find that configuration panel.
Azul Systems provides builds of OpenJDK and relative installers, for all OSes and JDK versions.
It also provides builds of the JDK with OpenJFX included.
The installers bind JAR files to be executed by Java on Windows.
Download from azul.com website
I know this is old but should anyone run across this in search of OpenJDK 8 go here

I upgraded java on my osx 10.9.4 machine using the suggested method from the java web site
It successfully updated, but when trying to run Eclipse I get an error:
Version 1.6.0_65 of the JVM is not suitable for this product.
Version 1.7 or greater is required.
When I access java settings through the applet in the control panel, it shows Java 7 Update 65, but when I type java -version in the console, it shows 1.6.0_65 (response shown below):
| => java -version
java version "1.6.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-466.1-11M4716)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-466.1, mixed mode)
As far as I know, there is only one java on the box. "which java" returns /usr/bin/java and type -a java returns only /usr/bin/java also. /usr/bin/java is obviously the older version, but I'd like to use the updated one. Can someone please tell me how to update the /usr/bin/java version and/or how to link the applet version so that Eclipse will use the updated one?
Take a look at oracle documentation here:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-jdk.html
It says:
To run a different version of Java, either specify the full path, or
use the java_home tool:
/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7.0_06 --exec javac -version
The /usr/libexec/java_home is a link to your jdk directory that should be located under:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk<major>.<minor>.<macro[_update]>.jdk
I think your java_home link is pointing to your jdk6. You can check it doing a ls -l /usr/libexec/
I started off with CentOS and OpenJDK 1.7
# java -version
java version "1.7.0_25"

In order to run a specific application, I want to use Oracle's Java 1.6, provided from an RPM.
I copied the Oracle binary to a specific new directory:
# pwd
/oracleJava/jdk-6u45-linux-x64-rpm
I extracted the binary and it gave me the following files:
# ls
jdk-6u45-linux-amd64.rpm
sun-javadb-core-10.6.2-1.1.i386.rpm sun-javadb-javadoc-10.6.2-1.1.i386.rpm
sun-javadb-client-10.6.2-1.1.i386.rpm sun-javadb-demo-10.6.2-1.1.i386.rpm
sun-javadb-common-10.6.2-1.1.i386.rpm sun-javadb-docs-10.6.2-1.1.i386.rpm
I installed the RPM and the rpm utility believes that it installed properly:
rpm -q jdk
jdk-1.6.0_45-fcs.x86_64
# rpm -Uvh ./*.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package jdk-2000:1.6.0_45-fcs.x86_64 is already installed
# rpm -Uvh sun-javadb-*.rpm
[I omit the feedback because it generates a formatting error]
#
However, the Java version just shows 1.7
# java -version
java version "1.7.0_25"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (rhel-2.3.10.4.el6_4-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
In other words, I was expecting the Oracle files to give me some new /java directory somewhere, with a new java executable that would return a different answer for "java -version"
I need that new directory so that I can set JAVA_HOME and use the 1.6 version of Java.
Helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The Oracle JDK RPMs are horrible.
They do not register with the alternatives system.
They do not Provide (in RPM terms) "java"
They have messed up their RPM 'version string' and rely on Epoch (...)
All versions of the JDK (i.e. 1.6 vs 1.7) have the same Epoch
In order to quickly remedy your problem you can run the following:
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/default/bin/java 20000
It will register and prefer the Oracle java installation as an alternative. OpenJDK has weight 16000; here we register with 20000. Once you've run this command you can switch between java versions by using the (already mentioned) alternatives --config java command.
As for a less quick fix you can use my virtual java package. It's quite possibly not perfect (I'm open for improvements ;) ), but it Provides java (making my apache-tomcat package happy) and registers with the alternatives system. This virtual package simply depends on jdk...you can find it here: https://github.com/keystep/virtual-java-rpm
Run the following command to see if your JVM is getting listed.
sudo update-alternatives --config java
If your JVM gets listed select it.
The problem is that Oracle's RPMs are (wilfully IMO!) ignorant of the "alternatives" system.
Instead, they install stuff in a non-standard place (/usr/java) and then expect the user / system administrator to mess with the PATH variable ... by hand.
It is a nuisance!
So what has probably happened in your case is that your JDK / JRE has been installed in a subdirectory of /usr/java ... but since you haven't added the relevant bin subdirectory to the front of your PATH you are still picking up the OpenJDK tools via the java command name.
You can fix this after the fact by using "alternatives" to configure and then select the Oracle commands. But it is messy, especially if you want the JDK tools as well. (There are a lot of them!)
Please check that whether your JAVA_HOME points to JDK 6 using echo $JAVA_HOME. In order change your JAVA_VERSION to Java 6, you need to point to the Java development KIT 6. You also need to add the bin directory to the $PATH variable. Please ensure that JDK6 bin directory comes in the $PATH prior to other JDK bin,if any. You can check the version of your Java in the environment by command java -version.The other answer by learningloop is very perfect to switch between different Java configurations
Try to the following method
delete OpenJDK folder from
/usr/lib/jvm
I had same problem and got solution through this method
I've recently installed netbeans 7.3 on my Mac (Lion 10.7.5, up-to-date).
At the command line, I would get:
[129]$java -version
java version "1.6.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06-451-11M4406)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01-451, mixed mode)
Today I went to the netbeans plugin window and found 18 updates to install. When I attempted to do this, I received a message that some of them require > Java 1.7, and I only have 1.6 (as indicated above). So I dutifully ran out to java.com and downloaded Java 1.7 Update 21 successfully.
When I run a Java version checker in various browsers I see a report that Java 1.7.0_21 is the installed version. In addition, the Mac's Java Control Panel also indicates that 1.7.0_21-b12 is the current version.
However, upon restarting netbeans, it still has the same complaint that Java 1.6 is in use. I've rebooted the machine and get the same result. And, the result of 'java -version' at the command line also still shows the same result as above (1.6.0_45).
And, finally, even if I try something like:
/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7.0_21 --exec java -version
I get:
Unable to find any JVMs matching version "1.7.0_21"
I'm baffled. Does anybody have any advice on this?
Thanks.
Doug
netbeans will be using it's own version of the the JDK try this
where-can-i-set-the-jre-jdk-which-is-used-to-run-netbeans-besides-the-command-line
java -version
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode)
Now I have a Java application which says
A different version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is required to use this application.
and it is 1.6.0_17...
What to do?
It's really strange that the software you are trying to run requires a very specific update release (such as Oracle Java 6 update 17). Update releases are compatible and there should not be a need to require a very specific release.
On this page you can download earlier versions of Oracle's Java implementation, including Java 6 update 17.
if you really want to have different version of the application running, then the keyword java needs to be fully provided with a path.
one good way is to export the java_home before you run the application and have the application always read the java home when starting the server.
export JAVA_HOME = c:\jdk7
JAVA_HOME/bin/java -server ...
export JAVA_HOME = c:\jdk6
You have to uninstall your current version of java and install the desired version.
You can found all previous version of java on this (Java Older versions) location.
If you are using windows you can directly uninstall and install the older version.
Note: we can use multiple versions in a system by changing the system or user environment variable to use some version as my current java version make or put the path as followed it should be pasted first in path
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_12\bin;.;
[;.;] this will indicate as current working directory and this version will only take as default version while installing java dependent sofware installations ex:netbeans,tomcat etc
