I want to update my jre to version 7. What is the command for it in linux ?

Right now, on executing java -version it shows :

java version "1.6.0_24"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.6) (fedora-71.1.11.6.fc16-i386)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)

Answer 1

yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk
update-alternatives --config java
