I will start from the very beginning on how I made a Mess!!



I needed Java programming on my Ubuntu 12.04. so, I downloaded Net Beans setup from the site. When I tried to run the setup, I found that JDK is not installed. i Anyway, as I used to do in Windows,(I am a newbie in Ubuntu), I went to Oracle Java site, downloaded the rpm package.



Next, I found that rpm is by default not installed in Ubuntu, so I downloaded rpm too via terminal. When I tried to install jdk setup through rpm, It gave error for installing something named "alien".



Ok!! Now, I installed alien and finally, something happened to the rpm file. Then a message came "jdk1.70.deb generated". Whoa!!! I knew this extension, its an installer file for Ubuntu, I quickly went to the .deb file via nautilus, n doouble clicked it. My software centre showed that it's already installed. N he was right! I found the jdk folder in /usr/java. But still, javac wasnt running!!!



I wrote java -version and it showed that openjdk is being used n not my new setup.



I searched on net, n found this tutorial by webupd8. tried to do this too, changed the java folder as per the guide in site. But now, when I try to run the javac -version on terminal, it gives an error:



Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object


n now, even java -version gives the same error!



I was trying to find out, how to uninstall my newly installed java, but havent found anything. N now, java is not working even on my browsers!



Please help. n get me out of this mess!!! :( :(

  • Ok, first of all, rewind your steps, and you should have read the warning Warning: JDK 7 is available as a developer preview release, so use it at your own risk.. Now, the last thing you did was changing the java directory, did you followed the next steps? "Install Update Java package created by Bruce Ingalls (packages available for Ubuntu 11.10, 11.04, 10.10 and 10.04):"?

  • Then work backwards, if the thing say move from to, you move to from, if it's says install, you uninstall.
