This is an easy way to configure java on a linux box, all this information is available online.
First we need to obtain the build.
sudo wget http://192.168.201.47:8000/jdk-7u75-linux-x64.gz
Extract from tar
sudo tar xzvf jdk-7u75-linux-x64.gz
Create symbolic link so we can later update the version
sudo ln -s /opt/jdk1.7.0_75/ /opt/java
we edit the /etc/profile and add following two lines
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
finally we ‘source’ the file
source /etc/profile
At this point you should be ready to go, we can verify this by executing
java -version
