Hi,

The WebUpd8 Java PPA downloads the tgz file from Oracle server and configures it to be used as the default Java system-wide. It also auto-updates so you don't have to keep checking the Oracle site for updates.

Hi Gora

Thanks

Good to hear from you.

Hope all well otherwise.

Yes you are correct the ITD is very frustrating - and it seems like you and like every year I would need to run windows inside a virtual machine as well. Luckily the new virtual machines are quiet well integrated so it makes life easier - I can do all my work on the linux side and simply just feed in the data into the windows side - generate the file and its done.

Am experimenting with running windows from a USB drive - since even the great samsung that makes android software does not have a linux based firmware updation tool.

Meanwhile am not going to waste time with trying to make ITD stuff work - just needed the confirmation you have provided.

regards
ram

        Hi

        Am trying to run an 'official' income tax java file
        available here - https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/

        tis requires the official oracle / sun java software
        it says that the version i have currently installed
        (openjdk-7-jre) (openjdk-7 (7u55-2.4.7-1ubuntu1~0.13.10.1)) is
        not compatible


    Had the same problem, and yes the ITD software does seem to
    specifically require
    Oracle Java (write once, despair of ever running anywhere).
    Unfortunately, Oracle
    Java is no longer supported on Ubuntu, and the Oracle site (the
    link that you give)
    only has a RPM, or a tar.gz. You could try the tar.gz, but that
    might end up messing
    with your openjdk settings. As I only wanted to try out the ITD
    utility, I just gave up,
    and used Oracle Java in Microsoft Windows XP in a virtual machine.

    Regards,
    Gora
