I use this :
http://awel.domblogger.net/7/special/repoview/oracle-java-jdk.html
It's a nosrc.rpm that makes an rpm from the x64 binary tarball.
You have to update the spec file for the actual version being used.
I don't know if it is the right solution for everyone but it meets my needs just fine, every new Java release I just build it on one machine and distribute the resulting rpm to my other CentOS boxes that need Oracle Java.

Hi Everyone,
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?
