[2] If another version of JDK had been installed, change the default like follows.
root@dlp:~#
update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_71/bin/java" 1

root@dlp:~#
update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_71/bin/javac" 1

root@dlp:~#
update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javaws" "javaws" "/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_71/bin/javaws" 1
root@dlp:~#
update-alternatives --config java

There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

  Selection    Path                                            Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   1071      auto mode
  1            /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_71/bin/java                   1         manual mode

# select the latest one
Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 1
update-alternatives: using /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_71/bin/java to provide /usr/bin/java (java) in manual mode

# change like above, too

        int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
        int month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
        int day = cal.get(Calendar.DATE);
        int hour = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
        int minute = cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
