uninstall openjdk and dependencies from Linux Mint / Ubuntu

remove_openjdk_linux.txt

I found that you can use the following to remove the openjdk-7-jre on Ubuntu 13.04:

    sudo apt-get autoremove openjdk-7-jre

Press 'y' and then press enter when prompted to confirm this change. This should also clean up all the additional dependency libraries that were installed with it.

I also found you can use the following command to perform additional clean up:

    sudo apt-get purge openjdk*

If you use the following command:

    java -version

You should no longer see the openjdk-7-jre installed!
