How to install jdk with yum on Fedora 17?
Solution 1
- Download the last JDK version here: Java SE Development Kit 7 Downloads
-
Choose the version jdk-7u5-linux-x64.rpm (the last one!) (*.rpm is the important here!) and then just type:
user@machine#: yum localinstall jdk-7u5-linux-x64.rpm
And that is it!
Solution 2
If you really want version 1.6 of OpenJDK for Fedora 17 you could use the one provided by Fedora 16. Use this command:
yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk --releasever=16 --nogpgcheck
(--nogpgcheck
because yum
complains of not having the key for Fedora 16, maybe there are better ways to solve this)
But this shows, that java-1.7.0-openjdk
obsoletes java-1.6.0-openjdk
and skips installation. And it shows that the package xorg-x11-fonts-Type1
is needed. So I did
yum install xorg-x11-fonts-Type1
and then I used the openjdk package which yum
downloaded but refused to install because of the obsoletes warning
rpm --nodeps -ihv /var/cache/yum/x86_64/16/updates/packages/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-68.1.11.5.fc16.x86_64.rpm
(--nodeps
for overriding the obsoletes warning)
Now I have both java 1.6 and java 1.7 on my system. Java 1.7 is my default. And Java 1.6 is in /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
.
PS: There won't be any conflicts when you install both 1.7 and 1.6. The reason for removing 1.6 from Fedora 17 was, that OpenJDK6 will no longer get security updates after November 2012.

Type the following in a command prompt to install the latest version:

Richard T almost 6 yearsI'm sorry, but TODAY, with Fedora 28, THIS DOES NOT WORK! Running the modern equivalent installs something called a JDK but it DOES NOT HAVE "javac"! WTF?! That's why I came to ask this question: How The Heck Do I Get A REAL JDK?
