Now, I'm a little confused here. This recommends *not* using the Sun Java RPM,
but then it recommends using Sun Java 1.5+ for stability. What gives? Am I
missing something obvious?
Sun offers for download two packages: an RPM for RedHat-like systems,
and a self-extracting shar archive. I almost always get the shar archive
and install java to /usr, then symlink the installed directory to
/usr/java. in /usr/bin i make symlinks to all the stuff in
/usr/java/bin. that way, i can upgrade java just by extracting a new
tarball and moving a symlink target.
