What is the official method to install Java on Centos? I searched,

could find no mention of Java on the Web site.
Like others already mentioned, there is no "official" way, and like
others, I like to install the Sun JRE. I then run the following
"alternatives" commands to make it the default version (this assumes
you are using version 1.5.0_07 of the JRE):
# alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jre1.5.0_07/
bin/java 10 \
--slave /usr/bin/rmiregistry rmiregistry /usr/java/jre1.5.0_07/
bin/rmiregistry \
--slave /usr/lib/jvm/jre jre /usr/java/jre1.5.0_07
# alternatives --set java /usr/java/jre1.5.0_07/bin/java
I currently have a dozen or so developer systems deployed using
CentOS 4.3 and the aforementioned Sun JRE 1.5.0_07.
