[ubuntu-in] Is it possible to run openjdk and java side by side on linux

[Onkar Shinde]

I think you are probably asking wrong questions. But without much
details of what you are trying to run it is difficult to give advice.
Here is what I figure out.
You are probably trying to run some ide which requires JDK so you need
to install openjdk-7-jdk package using synaptic or some other package
manager. This will also install java runtime.
The other software you are trying to run requires either java runtime
or java plugin (search icedtea in synaptic).

You can probably run different softwares on different version of java
by setting up correct environment variables. I have never tried it
myself. And you probably do not need this kind of setup in this
particular case.
