Install Oracle Java Packages

Linux Mint uses OpenJDK by default, but some web services might need the Oracle Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) to be installed for running the services properly. If you
would like to get the proprietary Oracle Java package for your system, you can download
and install it with the steps below:
1.

Go to Menu > Terminal.

Enter sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java to add the partner repository.
Enter sudo apt-get update to update the source list.
Enter sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

At any time, you can check the Java version you're using and configure it when
necessary:

Enter sudo java -version to check the version of the Java used in the system.
Enter sudo update-alternatives --config java to choose the default Java for use in the system.
