Thanks, Bob. Oracle Java is currently installed in
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle (runtime). I'm actually looking for the jdk
but don't see it, so perhaps this isn't installed as of yet. I'm still
setting up Eclipse and some other development pieces, so I'll likely
install the jdk at some point in the next day or so. I'll keep the final
install location in mind. Would these updates affect the runtime since
they are installed in /usr/lib? (In looking at /usr/bin/java, it is
linked to /etc/alternatives/java, which is linked to the oracle-7
directory noted here).
Thanks
