= Update Java =
- Download the latest version of the ''Java Development Kit'' (JDK) as a self-extracting binary file from [http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/].
- Make it executable and install it into ''/usr/java/jdk-XXX''.

# chmod u+x jdk-XXX.bin
# ./jdk-XXX.bin

- Move it to the the same folder with all other Java versions:
{{{
# mv /usr/java/jdk-XXX /usr/lib/jvm
}}}
- Install the new version within the ''alternatives'' system:
{{{
# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-XXX/jre/bin/java 300

- Select the new version as the default using:
{{{
# alternatives --config java
}}}
