Installing jdk 7 on Fedora 24
Hi all, I need the old jdk for some Grails project so I downloaded and installed the one from Oracles website. However, it doesn't show up anywhere, not in alternatives and not in /usr/lib/jvm? I can't install it again since it prompts me that i'ts already installed.. but I wonder.. where might that one hide..? Regards
I suggest you have downloaded and installed the rpm file from Oracle. Then you can list the location of the new installed java with "rpm -ql <name_of_the_rpm_file>". Name of the rpm file is without extention ".rpm".
Is this link "https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/49060/how-to-make-oracle-jdk-and-jre-as-default-java-in-fedora-20/#" helpfull?
A week later.. noticed however that "rpm -ql" gives me nothing except "package not installed". However, I can't install it since it's installed, better grab myself another computer. Oh wait, the name of the rpm didn't work, but the name for "Package XX is already installed" did the trick!
