Just notice

/etc/alternatives/javaws -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/javaws


change to 7 works.



If you're going to use Oracle Java, I would suggest this:

http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-in-debian.html

   I've been using this for several years and it works flawlessly. The
major problem people have is setting the alternatives correctly. This
method does just that, in spades. There is a java version 8 as well,
but I am staying with version 7 a bit longer. You will enjoy this!
Plus, you get version updates automagically. It really doesn't get
any better. I just tried your link, and it fired up the first time.


Note that the Debian package java-package allows to create your own Oracle
Java debbals.


Will it set all the alternatives? That can be an major issue. Ric


The created debballs set up alternatives apparently: on my box:

mybox$ update-alternatives --display javaws

give

javaws - auto mode

Current 'best' version is '/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/javaws'.
Right, but I meant all the other java alternatives. There are a bunch of them:
ControlPanel, appletviewer, extcheck, idlj, jar, jarsigner, java, java-vm, javac, javadoc, javafxpackager, javah, javap, javaws, jcmd, jconsole, jdb, jexec, jhat, jinfo, jmc, jos, jrunscript, jsadebugd, jstat, jstatd, jvisualvm, keytool, the mozilla plugin which links to libnpip2.so, native2ascii, orbd, pack200, policytool, rmic, rmid, rmiregistry, schemagan, serialver, servertool, wsgen, wsimport, xjc.
You made me look. :0 I didn't know half of these existed until I used that installer. It's just a script which will directly install Oracle Java FROM Oracle. Then after it sets everything right. I love it, as I am lazy and Andrew does a good job at it. Just a FYI, Ric
