Switch with CentOS7 series + JDK-9.0.1 + JDK1.8.0 + alternatives

Introduction

environment

--ASCIIux7 (* Equivalent to CentOS 7.2) * Introduced a trial version to WinPC to easily try things that cannot be tried in the guest OS and production environment. --Windows10 Professional * Host OS

• VirtualBox5.1.30
• Vagrant1.9.8 --alternatives 1.7.4 * This is included in the distribution as standard.

Purpose of this article

I came up with a JDK installation to make a little program in java. I want to use the latest java9 version, but I also want to include java8 for insurance so that it can be easily switched. I've used alternatives before, so I'll post it as a reminder when working while remembering.

About alternatives

This command allows you to manage and switch between multiple versions of software and multiple software with the same functions.

Reference URL

All you have to do is look at the following sites and work (you don't need this article). Many thanks. Java version control with CentOS alternatives

I have the impression that there are not many sites that explain alternatives in detail, but the following documents of VINE LINUX (RPM series) are detailed. Switching standard commands with alternatives

Work memo

Download the JDK

Drop it from the Oracle site. If you want to get it with wget, the method described in the above reference URL is good (although I have not tried it). I downloaded it on the host OS (Windows10pro) and uploaded it to the guest OS (linux) with WinSCP.

Download it referring to the capture. Oracle Technology Network/Java/Java SE/Downloads

Check the license terms and click the file. This time, I downloaded jdk-9.0.1_linux-x64_bin.rpm and jdk-8u152-linux-x64.rpm.

JDK installation

I worked as root. I put the rpm file directly under / root.

rpm file confirmation

[root@asianux7 ~]# ls
anaconda-ks.cfg  initial-setup-ks.cfg  jdk-8u152-linux-x64.rpm  jdk-9.0.1_linux-x64_bin.rpm

Install by adding -i to the rpm command and specifying the file name.

You now have both versions of the JDK directory.

Confirm installation destination

[root@asianux7 ~]# ls /usr/java/

Register java in alternatives

Register each version of java so that you can switch with alternatives. The last 1 and 2 are priorities. This time, java9 was ranked first. This ranking is meaningful in auto mode. In manual mode, the specified version will be the current version.

alternatives registration

[root@asianux7 ~]# alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk-9.0.1/bin/java 1
[root@asianux7 ~]# alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_152/bin/java 2

Check the list of java versions registered in alternatives and the current java version. The version with + is the current version.

in conclusion

The alternatives command is not dedicated to java but general purpose, so I would like to try other software if I have a chance.
