I have a SLES 12 SP1 machine on which I need to install Oracle Java
Development Kit.
I downloaded form orcale official site a jdk package,
jdk-8u102-linux-x64.rpm, but I still have a few issues.
Following the guides on internet i run
rpm -ivh jdk-8u102-linux-x64.rpm[/color]
There are at least two installs. If you just need a JDK somewhere, you
can use the tarball install which just extracts wherever you want it and
then you can point your applications that need Java to that location.
Easy peasy, no package management stuff, etc. I’m not saying you SHOULD
do that, but it’s an easy option too.

and i get an error
-update-alternatives: using /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_102/jre/bin/java to
provide /usr/bin/java (java) in auto mode
update-alternatives: error: alternative ControlPanel can’t be slave of
javac: it is a slave of java
warning: %post(jdk1.8.0_102-2000:1.8.0_102-fcs.x86_64) scriptlet failed,
exit status 2-
Well now if I run java --version i get a response but I would automate
this step into a script and I can’t receive an error during Oracle Java
Installation.[/color]
If the install works, what’s wrong with getting an update-alternatives
error that is probably either cosmetic or, if it deals with ControlPanel,
irrelevant to actually running the ‘java’ executable?

The last strange thing is that
rpm -e jdk-8u102-linux-x64.rpm[/color]
This command is wrong; the manpage for ‘rpm’ indicates you need a package
name when removing an RPM, not a package file; the package file is not
installed, the package is, and you are specifying the file. Try just
‘jdk-8u102’ or maybe just ‘jdk’, whatever the name of the actual package
is/was.

tell me the package is not present
but running again
rpm -ivh jdk-8u102-linux-x64.rpm
tell me that the package is installed.[/color]
Yes, because it is; you should be done.

Good luck.
