[CentOS] Installing Java 1.4.2

[Todd Reed]

I don't know what the specifications for scalix are, but I run OpenNMS (runs on tomcat4) and this install seems to work...at least for me.

Installing Java 1.4:
Download Sun Java J2SE 1.4 SDK and JRE from java.sun.com to the Local PC (http://java.sun.com). Use SCP to copy them to the server in the /downloads directory. The file names look like j2sdk-1_4_2_10-linux-i586.bin or j2re-1_4_2_10-linux-i586.bin.

For scalix on Centos the Scalix forum provides instructions for convincing Scalix that Centos is Redhat:

I am up to the point of getting Java JDK1.4.2 installed.

I did a:        yum list|grep "java" and got:

gcc-java.i386                            3.4.4-2                installed       
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.noarch             1.4.2.0-27jpp          installed       
db4-java.i386                            4.2.52-7.1             base            
gcc4-java.i386                           4.0.1-4.EL4.2          base            
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-devel.noarch       1.4.2.0-27jpp          base            

Do I got what I need?

I tried:        yum install jdstk-1.4.2
and got nothing to install...

I don't see tomcat in my list of installed rpms.  Do I follow the instructions listed, or is there a yummy way to get it?  ;-) 

Thanks!
