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

[Subhadip Ghosh]

I suppose you actually meant Oracle JDK/JRE when you said java. It's 
possible to have OpenJDK and Oracle JDK installed on the same system but 
you can have only one set as default at any point of time for obvious 
reason.

Thanks,
Subhadip
