Years ago the recommended way to install Sun's java was to install from the tar.gz file because the RPM they supplied did some bad things (clobbered other files or something...can't remember the details). Is this still the case with Oracle's java RPM, or is it now safe to install?
I've been using the Oracle RPMs. From what I can tell they restrict their writes to /usr/java (plus making symlinks in /usr/bin).
