You need to use the alternatives system to set up java. See

Code: Select all

man update-alternatives

This wiki page provides instructions on one way that this might be done:
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Install_java_oracle

This forum thread should also be helpful:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2569

It includes a link to this page:

most of which can be adapted to fit Mageia.

So what did you do exactly, and what error message / output do you get when you start e.g. SweetHome in a terminal?
