I installed Ubuntu 10.04 which by default came with OpenJDK. I've since installed Sun's Java 6 using apt-get
. When I type java -version
I get:
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode)
However, when I start Tomcat it still appears to using Open JDK.
Using JRE_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
What's the best way to globally point to Sun's Java? Is there a way to uninstall Open JDK?

Have you looked at the
update-alternatives
command? You would use it like this:sudo update-alternatives --config java
and then choose the version you want.See the Ubuntu Java page for more details.
Hope it helps.
