downer - thanks

On the other hand, redistribution is permitted...

I've had pretty good luck using the opennms packaged version. Pick the yum config rpm from here: http://yum.opennms.org/ (I recommend the 'unstable' repo if you are actually going to install opennms). If you don't want opennms, you can just 'yum install jdk'. If you do want OpenNMS, start back here: http://www.opennms.org/index.php/Main_Page and follow through the Development 1.3.8, Quick Start, RPM link and follow the instructions which are now amazingly easy on Centos5.


The real question about java here is why is there no love between japackage.org and RHEL5/Centos5 - or any Fedora version >6?
