If i should install both java 1.6 and 1.7 , how to do that ?

I don't know whether you*should* do it, not knowing much about your setup, but assuming CentOS 7, I think you can install both the java-1.6.0-openjdk and java-1.7.0-openjdk packages.

I can confirm that. I have both installed. You can configure the default using the 'alternatives' system.

is it just me, or does anyone else think that 'alternatives' system is completely bogus?

what if I have one user that wants JDK6 and another that needs JDK7 ?
