I installed Sun JDK official RPM, from Oracle's site.
Then I would make sure that what I just installed was the default via
the alternatives command ie;
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java [path to java] [any
digit]
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws [path to javaws]
[any digit]
I am really not proficient with 'alternatives' command, but I did try to configure Sun's JDK as the default. The difference is that I configured javaws as a "slave" to java config, like this:
sudo alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/latest/bin/java 20000 \
--slave /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/java/latest/bin/javaws
It seems it worked:
~ ls -l /usr/bin/javaws
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 24 Jun 5 12:25 /usr/bin/javaws -> /etc/alternatives/javaws
~ file /etc/alternatives/javaws
/etc/alternatives/javaws: symbolic link to `/usr/java/latest/bin/javaws'
/usr/java/latest/bin/javaws is the right executable (I mean, it is Sun's javaws).
Then make sure that alternatives is set to use what you just installed;
/usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
/usr/sbin/alternatives --config javaws
It is, at least AFAICS:
~ alternatives --display java
java - status is auto.
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java - priority 1500
slave jar: (null)
slave jarsigner: (null)
slave javadoc: (null)
slave javaws: (null)
...
/usr/java/latest/bin/java - priority 20000
slave jar: /usr/java/latest/bin/jar
slave jarsigner: /usr/java/latest/bin/jarsigner
slave javadoc: /usr/java/latest/bin/javadoc
slave javaws: /usr/java/latest/bin/javaws
