Previous versions of Fedora included a version of Java called IcedTea. Now Java is called openjdk, being based on the OpenJDK project. Follow this to get a JVM, javac compiler, and browser plugin
Applicable to Fedora Versions
- Fedora 9
Doing the Work
- Remove IcedTea from any previous installs
yum erase java-1.7.0-icedtea java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin
- Install the packages with yum
yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel
You now should be able to run or compile programs with the java and javac programs, respectively, and use the web browser plugin.
Disclaimer
We test this stuff on our own machines, really we do. But you may run into problems, if you do, come to #fedora on irc.freenode.net
