How to get java executable via Conda?

Question

I need java 1.7, in a Conda environment. I installed OpenJDK Java 1.7 like this:

conda install -c anaconda java-1.7.0-openjdk-cos6-x86_64

So far so good. But, I do not have any java executable, and could not find it...

How can I execute JAR files then ?

Answer 1

If you want to take advantage of a direct integration of the java-executable in your environment, then use this:

conda install -c conda-forge openjdk.

This installs the Zulu OpenJDK, which is an open source build of the Java JDK.
