Topic: Oracle Java 7

Is there any simple way of installing that? All tutorials I've seen are about Ubuntu, which is a bit annoying.

Ah, forgive me. That was a dumb question.

Thanks.

Re: Oracle Java 7

Only dumb question is one that remains unspoken.  Did the info on that page help you out?  If it did, please mark the thread "solved"; if not, please feel free to ask more questions!

Re: Oracle Java 7

tar zxvf jdk-7-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /usr/lib64/jvm/

I'm on an x86 system. This isn't working. What do I do differently?

EDIT: Oh wait, this is for a 64-bit system. No wonder.
