Linux FAQs with Answers--How to change default Java version on Linux
|
||
|
|
================================================================================
|

|
|
> **Question**: When I am trying to run a Java program on Linux, I am getting the following error. Looks like the Java program is compiled for a different Java version than the default Java program installed on my Linux. How can I switch the default Java version on Linux?

When a Java program is compiled, the build environment sets a "target" which is the oldest JRE version the program can support. If you run the Java program on a Linux system which does not meet the lowest JRE version requirement, you will encounter the following error while starting the program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/xmodulo/hmon/gui/NetConf : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, in this case the program is compiled for Java JRE 1.7 but the system only has Java JRE 1.6.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To solve this problem, you need to change the default Java version you are using to Java JRE 1.7 or higher (assuming that such JRE is already installed).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, **check available Java versions** on your Linux system by using update-alternatives command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ sudo update-alternatives --display java
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In this example, there are four different Java versions that are installed: OpenJDK JRE 1.6, Oracle Java JRE 1.6, OpenJDK JRE 1.7 and Oracle Java JRE 1.7. The default Java version is currently set to OpenJDK JRE 1.6.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the necessary Java JRE is not installed, you can always install it using [these instructions][1].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now that there are suitable candidates to change to, you can **switch the default Java version** among available Java JREs by running the following command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When prompted, select the Java version you would like to use. In this example, we choose Oracle Java JRE 1.7.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now you can verify the default Java version as follows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ java -version
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally, if you defined JAVA_HOME environment variable somewhere, update the variable according to the newly set default Java version.
