Replace GIJ with Oracle Java

  • 772

I'm trying to run Google's Closure Compiler on my server (CentOS 6). I installed it, but only got errors when I tried to run it.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: method java.util.regex.Pattern.quote with signature (Ljava.lang.String;)Ljava.lang.String; was not found. (Closure::Error)

It seems I'm running GIJ instead of Oracle's Java, so I think that could be causing my problems. (Or maybe not, feel free to correct me if this isn't likely.) How do I remove GIJ and install Oracle Java in it's stead?

I did the obvious: Downloaded the RPM from Oracle, and ran rpm -Uvh jre-7u5-linux-x64.rpm as root. Ran java --version and it's still GIJ.

I've been Google for half an hour now, but haven't found anything helpful.

  1. Run alternatives --config java and select the Oracle version.

  2. Find the package you want yum search java and/or yum provides java. In my case it was java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64, and then:

    yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64

    Remove the unwanted version with yum remove
