Erik, What does the follow show when pasted into the command line? (need not be root): /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display java If you have more than one version, then for setting the default JRE, call (-- as root --) the following command: update-alternatives --config java The output will show you what you have and allow you to configure the default. You will see something like this: [03:13 alchemy:/usr/lib64/jvm] # update-alternatives --config java There are 3 alternatives which provide `java'. Selection Alternative ----------------------------------------------- 1 /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun/bin/java 2 /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java *+ 3 /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/bin/java Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: Also, do *not* forget the java plugin! The default Java plugin is called javaplugin (for Sun's Java) and a libjavaplugin.so.[arch] for icedtea7/openjdk6. For a change of default plugin, you should type: update-alternatives --config libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 or for Sun's update-alternatives --config javaplugin For some sites, I have only been able to get openjdk to work. Other's suns javaplugin works. If you need more info, see man update-alternatives (then you can get really confused ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

JFI: Names of Java alternatives was unified, so openjdk now uses javaplugin as Sun Java. @David: is you don't want to use opendjdk, just uninstall it. openjdk has a biggest priority in alternatives system, that's why it's selected by default. After that you can type update-alternatives --auto to restore an automatic behavior of the alternatives system.
