By default, I had Java 7 installed on my system(X64, Fedora 20).

I needed Java 6 for a software, hence had to remove 7

Java:
sudo yum remove *java*

And then, I installed Java 6.

This installs Java 6 successfully. but the java compiler, JavaC is missing. For that, I try -

Java:
su -c "yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel"

Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
No package java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel available.
Error: Nothing to do

I use this online compiler to run the java program. Could someone please help me with installing javac for java 1.6?
