Answer 1

Yes,you can. You need change environment variable Normally JAVA_HOME variable. So you can use another variable. eg.

JAVA_HOME='/home/jdk1.8.0_45'
JAVA_7='/home/jdk1.7.0_60'
JAVA_6='/home/jdk1.6.0_34'

Add path variable

PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_7/bin
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_8/bin
