The Tutorial Show Step-by-Step How-to to Install the Latest Oracle-Sun Official Java JDK 7 SE 32bit Release on Linux Fedora 16 Lxde i686 Desktop.
After Installing you will need to Use the update-alternatives Tool to Update your System Java to Sun SE JDK 7.
Take Note: At the Same Time I'm also Illustrating here the Easiest Way of Installing the New Downloaded .rpm Packages with Dependecies on Fedora 16 Lxde Desktop :)
The Screenshots of Installation Correspond to the Install on a Fedora 16 Lxde Desktop but the Procedure on KDE, Gnome, Xfce... Should Work Identically.
Following the Easiest and Practicable Way I have Expressly Excluded the Use of Terminal Commands here.
So Take the Time of Carefully Reading and Executing the Instructions Contained Here and All should Work Like a Breeze :)
