What is the official method to install Java on Centos? I searched, but
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
Where can I find some information on this 'alternatives' commands to
understand what you did here.
My system is quite messed up right now with jre between jpackage and Sun
stuff. Freemind is working, but Java in Firebird is broken.
I currently have a dozen or so developer systems deployed using CentOS
4.3 and the aforementioned Sun JRE 1.5.0_07.
