[ubuntu-in] Is it possible to run openjdk and java side by side on linux

[Ramnarayan.K]

thanks

will try it out and see what happens

there seems to be no tool called alternatives

though there is galternatives




*A GUI to help the system administrator to choose what programshould
provide a given service.This is a graphical front-end to the
update-alternativesprogram shipped with dpkg.*

further there exists no update-alternatives - and am not sure what shipped
with dpkg means , does it mean its part of dpkg

thanks
ram
