To > install and configure this is not a problem (downloaded the bin from the > sun web site and run it). > May I ask what it is specifically that requires Sun/Oracle that OpenJDK cannot satisfy? > But we I try to install something based on java (e.g., antlr, javassist, > bcel, ...) yum always proposes to install either java-1.5.0-gcj or > java-1.6.0-openjdk as java wasn't installed at all. > This is due to a requirement on java/java-devel that the Sun/Oracle RPM does not provide. > For several reasons I'm bound to a specific version of sun JVM (v1.5) > and I can't use the other virtual machines > Not that I am trying to preach or anything, but Sun/Oracle no longer supports 1.5 for consumers.. if your software is bound to that specifically, you should change it as the 1.5 JDK security issues will no longer be addressed. > I've correctly set JAVA_HOME, CLASSPATH and PATH so I suppose it isn't a > problem to have several virtual machines installed but I'd like to have > a clean installation without useless software (it is a production guest > for virtual box with few space at disposal). > > So there is a way to convince yum that I've installed java and to use it > when I'll try to add some java related software? > You can try installing the sun compat rpm from JPackage (www.jpackage.org).
