This is ok.

Wrong.

Nope.

* You DO NOT need to set JAVA_HOME.  Doing so can be bad for your health
* You only need to set CLASSPATH when you want it to contain something
  other than '.' and the classes.zip (in your case, I think you didn't
  need that, but it depends your hellow world's package structure
  and what your current directory is).

Try running again w/out the bad env var settings.  Did you get the glibc
version of the JDK?  That's the one that you want for RH 5.1.
