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

[Ramnarayan.K]

Thanks Onkar

Yes am trying to run two different pieces of software both of which have a
requirement for different kind of Java .

Right now , luckily , am only using one of the software but soon enough
both will need to run . Till then will work on setting it up and letting
you know what happens.

ram
