    A lot of people have huge issues with OpenJDK.Personally I hate OpenJDK and remove it immediately from a fresh install of Linux Mint.This is made for any Ubuntu based Linux Operating System.JDK7u7 is a patch for a silent java drive-by that a lot of people are still successfully using. So download JDK7u7... Don't worry about the JRE because the JDK comes with it. If you didn't know that already.There will be 32-Bit and 64-Bit command line demonstrations.

    Key:
    32-Bit
    64-Bit
    Both


    Go here
    Step 1: If you are using a 32-bit download:
    Code:
    92.86 MB  	          jdk-7u7-linux-i586.tar.gz
    If you are using a 64-bit download:
    Code:
    91.59 MB             	  jdk-7u7-linux-x64.tar.gz

    Step 2:
    Open Terminal, be sure to keep the Terminal open during the duration of this tutorial
    Type:
    Code:
    cd ~/Downloads/
    (32-Bit):
    Code:
    tar xvf jdk-7u7-linux-i586.tar.gz
    (64-Bit):
    Code:
    tar xvf jdk-7u7-linux-x64.tar.gz

    Step 3:
    Type:
    Code:
    sudo mv ./jdk1.7.0_07/ /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_07
    Then
    Code:
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_07 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle
    Now
    Code:
    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java 2
    And
    Code:
    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/bin/javac 1
    Step 4:
    Type:
    Code:
    sudo update-alternatives --config java
    Then choose java-7-oracle

    Java is installed
    You may want to run
    Code:
    sudo reboot
    Thats up to you

    iirc OpenJDK wasn't vulnerable to this security hole.

    You could also use the built installer from Orcale:

    Code:
     sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer


    It's more updated.
