How to replace OpenJDK with Sun Java in Ubuntu

Not quite a programming article, but I stumbled in this problem today so I thought it's worth a note.

After you install sun java from the partners repository, you'll see that by using java -version it still shows that it's using OpenJDK.

To fix this you can run:
sudo update-alternatives --config java

That will allow you to choose the default java virtual machine.
