Do I need any additional Java packages if I'm running the Oracle JRE?
- by George Gorski
I am running the Java 7 JRE from Oracle. I installed it through terminal and it works properly with my web browsers, and otherwise, as far as I can tell. However, I was browsing through my installed packages in Software Center, and noticed that both the 'openjdk-7-jre-lib' and 'openjdk-7-jre-headless' packages were still installed from when I had the OpenJKD JRE installed, which I have since uninstalled, but did use for a good period of time before I switched.
Should those be there, or might they cause complications if I leave them installed? Or would it be best to leave them installed?
