First you need to install alternatives :

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /path/to/bin/java 100

Then you can configure your java alternatives :

update-alternatives --config java

Let, update-alternatives --config java guide you.

Are you sure you want jdk (java development kit) instead of standart jre (java runtime environment) ?
