Ubuntu supports for a default JDK which is OpenJDK(not OracleJDK ).
what are the differences between OpenJDK and OracleJDK?.
- OpenJDK is a free and open-source implementation of Java SE Platform Edition with contribution from Oracle and open Java community.
- OracleJDK is developed and maintained by the Oracle itself whereas OpenJDK can be developed by Java Community.
- Oracle will deliver releases every three years, while OpenJDK will be released every six months.
- All the changes that are made by an OpenJDK version will be only valid until the next version released (6months).
- Oracle has versions that support for a long term( version 8,11) whereas other versions are only available for a short term(version 6).
Note: on Ubuntu, by default OpenJDK supports for Ubuntu repositories
To install OpenJDK on your Ubuntu machine just type the following commands on your terminal.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install default-jdk
To install OracleJDK on your Ubuntu machine just type the following commands on your terminal.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Note: We know that, by default Ubuntu repositories are not supported for OracleJDK, so we need to install a 3rd party repository (PPA). We’ll use the one from Linux Uprising, but you can use any other repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java11-installer
Good, you done. To see whether the installation is done or not, just type “java -version” on your terminal then the version of your installed JDK will be shown up.
