Please check whether you have installed correct 32-bit/64-bit jdk for your system, I have 64-bit installed. Maybe your java le path is wrong? Please check your libs / package / classpath! if everything ok but still error occurs, please try with eclipse or netbeans ide, then you can see with eclipse or netbeans better error messages. Reply

sauf que jai not sudo mv jdk1.7.0_04 /usr/lib/jvm/ :donc le jvm va contenir tous les contenus du (jdk1.7.0_04) donc le repertoire jvm/jdk1.7.0_04/bin/javac 1=jvm/bin .. jdk1.7.0_04 nexiste pa c-a-d :la commande sudo update-alternatives install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_04 /bin/javac 1 on la remplace par sudo update-alternatives install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/bin/javac 1 c valable pour les autres commandes Reply

I installed 64 bit version 7 as per all these instructions, I can get Java working in Firefox, but not in Ubuntu 12.04. Java doesnt show up in the list of programs so I cant set jar les to open with Java to play Minecraft. When I search for applications online it tells me that it needs OpenJDK Runtime 6 or 7 installed. I thought Suns Java was meant to this job? Any ideas what Ive done wrong? Reply

hi thanks for the guide, very hepful, But watchout for x86 architecture, the link for the mozilla plugin is : sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_04/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins Just replace the amd64 with i386 Reply 20.
