Oracle JDK 1.7 Installation on OpenSUSE 12.1

There is no so complex problem when using rpm distribution of Oracle JDK 1.7. First of all, filter installed version of OpenJDK to uninstall it.


linux-4e1s:/home/oguzhan/Desktop # rpm -qa | grep jdk
java-1_6_0-openjdk-1.6.0.0_b24.1.11.5-16.1.x86_64

linux-4e1s:/home/oguzhan/Desktop # rpm -e java-1_6_0-openjdk-1.6.0.0_b24.1.11.5-16.1.x86_64

linux-4e1s:/home/oguzhan/Desktop # rpm -qa | grep jdk
linux-4e1s:/home/oguzhan/Desktop # java -version
bash: /usr/bin/java: No such file or directory

I ensure that OpenJDK is uninstalled completely with listing rpm packages(rpm -qa | grep jdk), again. Then, call "rpm -ivh" to install oracle JDK 1.7 64-bit version. Finally, java and javac commands works well as you see bottom of the terminal output.
rpm -ivh jdk-7u9-linux-x64.rpm

linux-4e1s:/home/oguzhan/Desktop # rpm -ivh jdk-7u9-linux-x64.rpm

  -g:none                    Generate no debugging info
  -g:{lines,vars,source}     Generate only some debugging info

All essential java commands seem works fine but there is something we have to commit, finally: Setting JAVA_HOME directory in PATH.

1) grant access under the /etc/profile.d with root
linux-4e1s:/etc/profile.d # su


2) create jdk.sh file under /etc/profile. and write output of below echo command
linux-4e1s:/etc/profile.d # echo 'export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_05'>/etc/profile.d/jdk.sh 


3) append output of echo command
linux-4e1s:/etc/profile.d # echo 'export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH'>>/etc/profile.d/jdk.sh


4) trigger jdk.sh
linux-4e1s:/etc/profile.d # source /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh


Finally, You have to logout and login to see the effect with your own user. 

Thanks for visiting,
Take care...
