Hello,
Have you tried to use the "alternatives" command?
something like "alternatives --config java"

Hi All,
I have tried upgrading the Java on an Open Suse 11.4 and Red Hat
Enterprise 5.6, the rpm installs fine but am failing to permanently
set the PATH variable here as well, can't quite figure out what am
doing wrong, issuing the commands,
# JRE_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_02/bin/java
# export PATH=$JRE_HOME/bin:$PATH
Temproarirly sets the environment variable and "which java" and "Java
-version" point to the right folder and version respectively but on
logging out of the shell, I lose the settings.
Would appreciate being set straight.
Cheers

Hi Guys,
I have downloaded and Installed the latest Java rpm on RHEL 5.6,
but am
having trouble setting the JAVA_HOME and PATH variables, I have
followed the instructions off the java website and a couple of
other sites with no results, would appreciate the help ironing
this out, steps I have taken:
-Mkdir /usr/java
-tar -zxvf filename
-export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0/bin/java
-export $PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin
Cheers
