My steps to install java in Linux:
1) download from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html the Linux
RPM in self-extracting file (JRE)
2) It is a binary file, so chmod +x j2re-1_4_2_02-linux-i586.rpm.bin
... and ./j2re-1_4_2_02-linux-i586.rpm.bin
3) Accept the license and then you will have the
j2re-1_4_2_02-linux-i586.rpm package.
4) rpm -ivh j2re-1_4_2_02-linux-i586.rpm
5) cd /usr/java
6) ln -s j2re1.4.2_02 j2re ; ln -s j2re/javaws
7) export into /etc/profile JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re and add
/usr/java/j2re/bin to the path, save /etc/profile and run # source
/etc/profile
8) cd /usr/local/bin ; ln -s /usr/java/javaws/javaws
9) cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ; ln -s
/usr/java/j2re/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
and that's all! 8)
To upgrade a new j2re version it's so easy as:
1) rpm -Uvh j2re-1_4_(new_version).rpm
2) cd /usr/java
3) ln -sf j2re1.4.(new_version) j2re
4) Look if the plugin is different...
