Have you ever needed to install different versions of java on your machine but have no idea how to switch between them? Just follow the example below.



sudo update-alternatives –config java

A menu system will appear and all you have to do is choose the number of the java version you want to use.

  • To view what Java Version you are running:

    • java -version
