What is the official method to install Java on Centos? I searched, but could find no mention of Java on the Web site.
Currently the "Best" method (very relative term here) is to get the sun java rpm from java.sun.com and install it. (run the bin, agree to the license and all that) This puts java on your system in /usr/java/java-version which is kind of a screwed up place, and is not in any user's path by default. To resolve this and make things work, you then need to install the compat-sun-java rpm from jpackage.org for your particular version of java. This puts it into the alternatives framework which fixes the path issues, sets it as the default, and makes it work. Hppefully there will be a better method soon. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
