Installation and Configuration of JDK9 is step by step given below:
Install JDK9 in Ubuntu:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java9-installer
Make it as default:
sudo apt-get install oracle-java9-set-default
Changed in .bashrc, /etc/environment and also set default using
3 sections to change java configuration.
.bashrc:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-9-oracle
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
/ect/environment:
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-9-oracle"
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
Then run the following command and set
sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac
Then run the command
source /etc/environment
Check in terminal:
java -version
echo $JAVA_HOME
which java
which javac
Issue#1:
Execute "source /etc/environment" in every shell where you want the variables to be updated:
$ source /etc/environment
Issue#2:
Just write JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-9-oracle"
on your /etc/environment
, without the "export"
/etc/environment is supposed to contain a set of environment variables given as key=value pairs. It is not a shell script, so you can't use shell commands such as export in it.

Issue#3:
To check if java is properly installed:
$ which java
$ which javac
You should get similar output:
/usr/bin/java
Issue#4:

Completely remove criteria:
sudo apt-get remove oracle-java9-installer
