When you download the SDK from http://java.sun.com/, you can pick the
rpm. The RPM file will download as a rpm.bin file. This is just the
RPM wrapped in a script to make you agree to the license. chmod +x the
rpm.bin file then run it. After you agree to the license you will have
a .rpm in the same directory. You can install this RPM with:
rpm -ivh j2*.rpm
Follow the other instructions posted about adding
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03/bin to your PATH.
