Don't set CLASSPATH.
Set PATH to include just the bin directory.
e.g. I unzip the file to /usr/local/jdk116a, make a symbolic link
with cd /usr/local; ln -s jdk116a jdk
and put /usr/local/jdk/bin in my PATH.
(That way I can switch between JDK's by changing a single
symlink.)
It may help to uninstall older JRE's on your machine, too.
