How to make openJDK automatically update-alternatives?

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 5480 / 2 Years ago, mon, december 20, 2021, 7:49:21

Well, I've made a fresh Ubuntu 11.10 install and I installed openJDK 7. It updated alternatives just after installing, so it was all good. Then, I compiled a source and executed it and it didn't worked, then I noticed that java was using the version 1.6, while the javac was 1.7. I thought I had installed it wrong, so I uninstalled it and installed it again. But now, it does not update alternatives automatically (it does it only for javaws).
Is there a way to "restart" it so the apt-get does the update-alternatives by itself like the first time?
Is it normal that it uses the java 1.6 instead of the java 1.7 when installing openJDK 7?

Thank you very much!

I've purged openjdk after uninstalling, and I reinstalled it and worked the alternatives. Then I did an update-java-alternatives to set java to version 7 (I don't know why openjdk-7-jdk sets javac to version 7 and java to version 6 but whatever, now it works). Thanks for your help.
