It shouldn't, but if it does you can change the java alternatives back to openjdk-7 with the update-java-alternatives utility [0] to switch the alternatives for all JRE executables not just /usr/bin/java. # update-java-alternatives -s java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64 You should pass JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64 to Whitebox to have it use the non-default JRE and leave the other applications to use the default JRE configured in the alternatives system. [0] http://manpages.debian.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=update-java-alternatives Please ignore the Ubuntu Java documentation [1], it says to use update-alternatives --config java, but this is inferior to update-java-alternatives.
