I just installed `Fedora 19` and managed to get `FedoraUtils` installed. So I chose `java oracle`. after installation I could see in the `FedoraUtils` list that `oracle java (installed)` but I can't see the Oracle Java anywhere. As an Ubuntu user I would run the `update-java-alternatives -l` command but it didn't work. Below is the output of `alternatives --list`: mta auto /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail javac auto /usr/java/latest/bin/javac jre_1.7.0_openjdk auto /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.60-2.4.2.0.fc19.x86_64 mkisofs auto /usr/bin/genisoimage ld auto /usr/bin/ld.bfd java auto /usr/java/latest/bin/java jre_1.7.0 manual /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.60-2.4.2.0.fc19.x86_64/jre pax auto /usr/bin/spax print auto /usr/bin/lpr.cups jre_openjdk manual /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.60-2.4.2.0.fc19.x86_64/jre libnssckbi.so.x86_64 auto /usr/lib64/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 auto /usr/java/default/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so fakeroot auto /usr/bin/fakeroot-tcp unrar auto /usr/bin/unrar-nonfree xinputrc auto /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ibus.conf cifs-idmap-plugin auto /usr/lib64/cifs-utils/idmapwb.so I don't remember typing openJDK but apparently it's installed. I would really like to find out where's `oracle-java`. I don't mind having the 2. When I check for the version in order to get the default `java`: [joseph@localhost ~]$ java -version java version "1.7.0_40" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_40-b43) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.0-b56, mixed mode) - *Question 1* : Where is oracle java installed - *Question 2* : How to check default java in fedora - *Question 3* :I will like to set up system environment for JAVA_HOME, how does it work in `/etc/environment`?
