Install JDK on Ubuntu
Installing Open JDK from Command Prompt
Issue command apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk to install JDK7. Ubuntu will auto download JDK and start the installation, wait a few minutes for the downloading process.
umasarath@ubuntu:~$sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
Verifying Java after installation
For example, /usr/bin/java.
To verify if JDK is installed properly, type java -version in the command prompt.
umasarath@ubuntu:~$java-version
java version "1.7.0_25"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.3.10) (7u25-2.3.10-1ubuntu0.12.04.2)
