I've used that to good effect when some errant software requires (or claims to

This will eliminate the pain of futzing with the Oracle installation
instructions.

Take a look at the man page for update alternatives. You will have to tell

It's likely that the only java you have installed is OpenJDK, which is

sudo update-alternatives --list java
