Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie to centos and having trouble upgrading java's jdk1.4 to jdk1.5. I assume I have to get the jdk from jpackage, but I'm having trouble locating it, let alone finding any instructions on how to upgrade. Much appreciated if anyone can help. Thanks!

To my knowledge they do not supply the sun java jdk, but supply a nosrc.rpm for it. You have to download the jdk from java.sun.com and build the rpm using the specfile included in the nosrc.rpm. See the http://jpackage.org/rpm.php?id=2663 page for more info.
