ppa:webupd8team/java is only loading jre - java

The instructions at oracle state that running the following will install both the jre and jdk.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
Then sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default
and sure enough when I run java -version I get:
java version "1.8.0_101"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_101-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.101-b13, mixed mode)
and when I run javac -version I get:
javac 1.8.0_101
So I believe that means the jdk is installed. So to point $JAVA_HOME to the jdk I run sudo update-alternatives --config java to see where to point to. I get:
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java 2 auto mode
* 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java 2 manual mode
2 /usr/local/java/jre1.8.0_74/bin/java 1 manual mode
I don't see a jdk folder to point to here? I've searched for a jdk folder on the system (ubuntu 14.04) but don't find one. The contents of the `/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/ folder are:
bin COPYRIGHT db include javafx-src.zip jre lib LICENSE man README.html release src.zip THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME-JAVAFX.txt THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.txt
Am I going nuts or is the PPA repository not in fact installing the jdk?
The problem relates to a react-native application throwing this error > Could not find tools.jar

So for anyone who runs into issues with getting their local jdk install to work; one thing to check is that your update-alternatives has been correctly installed.
In my output above under sudo update-alternatives --config java you will see that the selected line points to the jre directory. I had been expecting to find a jdk folder to which I could point, but the jdk path (in this case) is /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java. With the oracle java-8 install the java-8-oracle/bin/java directory IS the jdk and the jre directory is a sub-directory of java-8-oracle (the jdk).
This was obvious once I downloaded jdk1.8.0_101 only to find the contents were the same as java-8-oracle. In all my searches the advice was to point to the jdk folder - hence the expectation that something was missing, which it wasn't - just not named as expected.
To update your alternatives do:
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" \
"/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java" 1 <-- should be your path; this is mine.

I can't find the javac for versions other than java17

I have installed multiple versions of java on my Linux mint mate 20.
I can find the multiple Java versions. But I can't find the multiple javac versions, javac is only present for Java 17.
I have installed all the Java version using
sudo apt-get install openjdk-x-jdk, where x is the the Java version.
This is the log of sudo update-alternatives --config java

Is there a way to install or locate javac in the openjdk-amd64/bin/ folder. As I have already tried to look for them manually using the tree command.
Your Java 8 install is only for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Therefore, it won't have a Java compiler (javac). The compiler is part of the Java Development Kit (JDK).
Try installing Java 8 JDK: sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk. It is likely that your Java 11 distribution is also a JRE-only install. If you need it, just install it the same way as I showed you for Java 8.

How to install the latest openjdk 12 on Ubuntu 18.04

I've installed the default jdk by issuing the command:
apt-get install default-jdk
This will install openjdk 11 and apt-get seems to install the files all over the place. Examples:
/etc/java-11-openjdk/management
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/lib
/usr/share/doc/openjdk-11-jre-headless/JAVA_HOME
/var/lib/dpkg/info/openjdk-11-jre:amd64.postinst
As you can see by the example locations above, there are files scattered everywhere.
I've just installed a web app that's giving a warning that it only supports jdk 12 (I think it's the latest openjdk version). How can I install version 12 so that it replaces version 11? What is the best way to upgrade the openjdk version on Ubuntu 18.04 so that it doesn't mingle with the previous version?
This works for me:
Download archive with wget or go to the JDK 12 GA Release site and download the archive manually:
wget https://download.java.net/java/GA/jdk12.0.2/e482c34c86bd4bf8b56c0b35558996b9/10/GPL/openjdk-12.0.2_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
Create the /usr/java directory:
sudo mkdir /usr/java
Move archive to the new directory:
mv openjdk-12.0.2_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz /usr/java
Go to this directory:
cd /usr/java
Unpack archive:
sudo tar -xzvf openjdk-12.0.2_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
Set the environment variables, for this open the /etc/profile file:
sudo nano /etc/profile
And add the following code to the end of this file:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk-12.0.2
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export JAVA_HOME
export JRE_HOME
export PATH
Configure Java commands to use the newly JDK by default:
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/java/jdk-12.0.2/bin/java" 1
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/java/jdk-12.0.2/bin/javac" 1
Check Java version:
java -version
If you previously had another version of Java installed and the version has not changed, try to run the following command and to select the desired version:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
The official package repository from Ubuntu doesn't provide a Openjdk12 package because openjdk11 is the last version of the openjdk package for your version.

JRE error when trying to install Matlab Compiler Runtime

Once again, I spent much time trying to get something to work without success.
I want to install MATLAB Compiler Runtime on my Ubuntu 13.04, where there is no MATLAB installed.
Here's what I did:
I downloaded the 64-bit Linux version R2012b(8.0) off of
http://www.mathworks.com/products/compiler/mcr/index.html?s_cid=BB.
Then, I switched into the folder and tried to install via
sudo ./install just to receive the following message:
Error: Cannot locate Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
The directory /home/konni/Downloads/MCR_R2012b_glnxa64_installer/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre does not exist.
And, it does not exist indeed, but there exists a folder with "glnxa86" instead of "glnx86". I wouldn't just want to rename it, though.
I do have a JRE installed on my machine, btw:
java version "1.7.0_25"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.3.10) (7u25-2.3.10-1ubuntu0.13.04.2)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
I have absolutely no clue what to do. The problems I found using google didn't quite help me, either...
Maybe you have an idea?
I'd greatly appreciate any help! :-)
If the only problem is finding the JRE, then the command line switch -javadir will get you done:
./install -javadir /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/
I had the same problem recently when installing a software that required a 7.13 MCR on an Ubuntu 17.10.
In this
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/matlab-7-5-compiled-runtime-for-64-bit-linux-installation-no-jre-error-838281/
I found that the 32 bit version installs fine, and it did, but obviously, that didn't solve my problem.
However, I found a way to do it. The trick is that the installer needs the old JRE (1.5) and will not work with JDK 8.
So the first step is to run
./MCRInstaller.bin -is:extract
this will create a directory called istemp... something, for me istemp23732345211606.
ls
jre1.5.0-linux-amd64.bin JVMNotFound.txt setup.jar Verify.jar
It is tempting to run the setup.jar directly, do try, but with Java 8, I only got the following error message:
Could not load wizard specified in /wizard.inf (104)
But perhaps it will work for you. People who get the above mentioned error with wizard.inf should look further, because the installer needs JDK 5 to run.
I chose not to use the bundled version but downloaded the JDK 5 from Oracle. The bundled version might work as well - I did not try.
You can download JDK 5 from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase5-419410.html#jdk-1.5.0_22-oth-JPR
Extract the downloaded archive (chmod +x the bin and run), then copy the files to /usr/lib/jvm/java5
Rename the jdk1.5.0_022 or anything to jdk1.5.0 to make it simple.
Fix attributes:
sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/java
sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/javac
sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/javaws
sudo chown -R root:root /usr/lib/jvm/java5/jdk1.5.0
Then run:
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/java5/jdk1.5.0/bin/java" 1
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/lib/jvm/java5/jdk1.5.0/bin/javac" 1
Now chose the jdk 5 as default
sudo update-alternatives --config java
And selecting the appropriate option.
Check that it worked
java -version
You should see something like this:
java version "1.5.0_22" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard
Edition (build 1.5.0_22-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build
1.5.0_22-b03, mixed mode)
Now you can run the setup.jar file in the extracted directory (istemp...)
sudo java -jar setup.jar
I recommend that you chose a contemporary java by running
sudo update-alternatives --config java
again.
When running the installer.sh, use the command line option "-is:javahome [path to your java jre folder]".
For instance, I installed below a java 8 jre on an old matlab compiler 2007b as follow:
sudo /opt/installer.sh -console -is:javahome /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/
I had same problem. The problem is you are installing 64-bit matlab on 32-bit ubuntu. use 32-bit matlab and install in ubuntu 32-bit. use 64-bit matlab and install in ubuntu 64-bit. Please like the answer if it was helpful.
