Nastavenie default Java JDK

Install openjdk 8:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

Checking Java versions installed on Ubuntu / Debian

To get a list of installed Java versions, run the command:

$ update-java-alternatives --list
 java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64      1101       /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64
 java-8-oracle                  1081       /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle

Once you have a list of Java version, set a default one by running the command:

$ sudo update-alternatives --config java

There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

  Selection    Path                                         Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------

* 1            /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java   1101      manual mode
  2            /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java       1081      manual mode

If JAVA_HOME is not set correctly, run the command below to set from current default Java configured.

Edit .bashrc add:

export JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f /usr/bin/java | sed "s:bin/java::")

For JRE, use:

export JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f /usr/bin/java | sed "s:jre/bin/java::")
