OpenJDK on Fedora

Now, you are not sure if OpenJDK is installed on fedora or not. So you can try to install it. If it is already installed, nothing.

Step 1: We will try to install OpenJDK6 on fedora

If you are root, then do this:
$> yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk

else, if you have sudo rights, then

home $> sudo yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk


Step 2: Where is OpenJDK installed on fedora?

If you do not know the rpm name, try to do step 1 above to install. That will give you the rpm name.

$> sudo rpm -ql java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-34.b17.fc12.x86_64

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/bin
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/bin/java
