Description
On the Linux platform, the names of JRE and JDK packages provided by Java RPM installers have been changed. The names of JRE and JDK packages now follow `jre<major.minor>` and `jdk<major.minor>` patterns respectively, instead of `jre` and `jdk` previously used. For example, the new names of JRE and JDK packages are `jre1.7` and `jdk1.7` respectively.

On the Linux platform, the names of installation directories of Java products have also been changed. The installation directories of products from the 7u181 release are as follows:
