Fouled up my openjdk-8-jre
Ubuntu 16.04. I was trying to run pycharm, and realized that I must have corrupted my jre at some point. Even after doing:
sudo apt purge openjdk-8-jre
running java -version
gives me:
nick@imipramine:~$ java -version
openjdk version "9-internal"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 9-internal+0-2016-04-14-195246.buildd.src)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 9-internal+0-2016-04-14-195246.buildd.src, mixed mode)
How can I completely remove all Java jres and jdks from my system before re-installing? Or am I missing something super basic?
BTW, I tried:
apt purge openjdk-9-internal
apt purge openjdk-9-jre openjdk-9-jdk
And openjdk-8-jdk
.
Some files were removed, but java -version
still reports that openjdk is installed!
Assuming you did not build OpenJDK from source, this will uninstall any package starting with openjdk
:
sudo apt remove --purge "^openjdk.*"
Including any program depending on a Java runtime environment.
