Where can I find the Java SDK in Linux after installing it?

Question

I installed the JDK using an apt-get install, but I don't know where the JDK folder is. I need to set my path for that. Does anyone have the clue on this location?

Answer 1

This depends a bit on your package system ... if the java command works, you can type 

readlink -f $(which java) 

to find your location of a java command. On the OpenSUSE system I'm on now it returns as below:

/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0/jre/bin/java
