Hi, following the below steps you can change your java version. I assume you allready installed java 1.6.18 but I cant see it under jdk directory, where did you install it?

If you have installed it another directory (maybe under opt) you might have problems when doing some installations which uses ANT (like Application Servers).
Ok install it under JDK then:
1. remove the old symbolic link of current java.
Code:
rm -r latest

2. define new latest sembolic link to 1.6.18 like
Code:
ln -s /usr/jdk1.6.0_18 java

3. Dont forget to add the latest version of java also to ENV path in .profile or .bash_profile if you use linux, then run it with
Code:
. .profile

or
Code:
. .bash_profile

so that running system sees it. Then check it with
Code:
echo $JAVA_HOME

or whatever you give the name to JAVA path.
4. at last check java version with
Code:
java - version

So sorry, Ok I assume you have it under the usr/jdk directory. pls Check your ENV and java path
