How to install JBoss AS on Ubuntu

Leave a reply

Today I installed JBoss AS 7.1 on our Ubuntu 13.04 stend. I'm sure it is not the last time when I prepare JBoss application server, so I decided to memorize my steps in this post.

The installation procedure is:

Install JDK 7

Install JDK from repository (oracle-java7-installer from this ppa is JDK)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-7-oracle
Set up environment variables
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-set-default
