How to install jdk1.2 beside jdk1.8

  • 772

I am new to linux and ubuntu... I am trying to run a program which is old (2001), in the MakeFile it says the javac is jdk1.2 (or 1.3), however I already isntalled javac 9-internal.

Can I yet install a javac of jdk1.2 beside this java to make the program? In general what is the solution to run such older projects?

java

  1. yes , that's quite easy, just download the jdk, extract it somewhere and set path in your .bashrc file like below

    # User specific aliases and functions
JAVA_HOME=/mnt/install/jdk1.8.0_77
JRE_HOME=/mnt/install/jdk1.8.0_77/bin


export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME:$MAVEN/bin:$PATH

    then close and open terminal again or do this

    source ~/.bashrc
