Install Java JDK and BlueJ in Ubuntu

gistfile1.md

Okay, Here's how I installed Java and BlueJ on Ubuntu.

Goto: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

• Accept user agreement and find your download
• Download: jdk-7u75-linux-x64.tar.gz

Open Terminal (Windows key and type terminal :) ):

Enter these commands:

This "unzips" that files:

  tar xvfz Downloads/jdk-7u75-linux-x64.tar.gz

This opens up .bashrc file in a text editor:

  gedit .bashrc

At the top of the file just add these two lines:

JAVA_HOME=/home/maverick/jdk1.7.0_75/
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin

Click Save Quit terminal and restart it.

java -version

If it says: java version "1.7.0._75" You did it!!! YAY!!!!

Download BlueJ:

• Right click on the file and choose install with Ubuntu Software Center
• Click install
• Once it's finished just do a search for it and open it.
• I'd right click the icon on your task bar and lock it to your dock.
