First remove any unnecessary symlinks you created. Fix icedtea: # yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin Install Oracle/Sun Java: # rpm -i jre-6u22-linux-i586.rpm Make it the system default: # alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/default/bin/java 20000 # alternatives --install /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so \ libjavaplugin.so /usr/java/default/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so 20000 To switch between IcedTea and Oracle/Sun (if necessary): # alternatives --config java # alternatives --config libjavaplugin.so If you require path variables like $JAVA_HOME, make sure to use the softlinked paths (eg. /usr/java/default/bin) instead of a hardcoded version path. Helps when you update/upgrade. If you have SELinux issues, might want to read this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628031 These steps seem to cause minimal interference with Fedora and any Java related dependencies.
