JDK is updated but previous version is still getting shown as current version

Previously in my machine, for 

javac -version

I was getting

javac 1.6.0_65

I needed JDK 8 so I downloaded it from here and installed it. But still I am getting the same version. But when I am running 

`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8 --exec javac -version`

I am getting 

`javac 1.8.0_11`.

What I am doing wrong?

When you install Java 8 your previous Java versions (Java 6, Java 7) don't get uninstalled.

You need to:

  1. Explicitly uninstall Java 6
  2. Or, change your JAVA_HOME location. If you are using linux you could try: /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java (at least in RH based distributions).
