to install java I have always used the classic way from the terminal.
I would like to install java manually.
I placed the folder of the JDK on the desk and I set environment variables (PATH, CLASSPATH and JAVA_HOME).
From the terminal, if I type java -version I get printed
foralobo@ubuntu-vincy:~$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)
But when I try to install eclipse or netbeans, the system warns by saying that there is no java installed on the machine.
What is missing to compleatare manual installation?
