Re: Simple way to update java on FC6?
Um, duh. :-[ I didn't run the .bin file and agree to SUN's conditions... Onto the next issue. Now I have run yum and enabled the repository jpackage.repo. Next onto the install, everything goes ok, dependencies are resolved, and then "Package jdk-1_5_0_14-linux-i586.rpm is not signed" What do I need to do? Inside jpackage.repo is the gpgkey for jpackage. This appears to be Sun's package isn't signed?

I'm trying to get eclipse to run on my box with FC6. I grabbed a copy of the program from eclipse.org. It wants a version of java > 1.5 to run. It seems the repos only have 1.4.2 for FC6. Anybody know of a repo that may have it? In the past, I've tried updating java thru the sun site.
