How can I open Java's Control Panel?

If you've manually installed Oracle Java it doesn't show up in the Dash (as far as I know).

1. Open a terminal

2. Execute the following command:

   /usr/bin/jdk1.8.0_05/bin/ControlPanel
   

   Replace /usr/bin/jdk1.8.0_05 by the path of your Java installation.

Open a terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T) and start

ControlPanel

Just a few moments later the Java Control Panel appeared. I haven't checked yet, but it may be necessary to

sudo ControlPanel

to save your changes.

1. Open a terminal
2. Execute the command: jcontrol
