Get it from Sun for now. I think Java 7 is the one that's supposed to be fully GPL, Java 6 still has some incompatible bits that Sun is re-writing(last I read).
You can get java alternatives like gcj with CentOS, though their usefulness is somewhat limited.
Whew. Getting jetty and java all classpath straight and working together has been a pain. Everything I've read and googled says I done the proper steps, so it's something I'm not getting right on my end, and to ask the list to figure it out would be too huge a chore to ask of anyone. I'll figure it out. The usual fix is just to start over, with the docs at hand. <grins> Persistence counts in Linux! Do you recommend I uninstall all rpm's for java/jetty at the same time?? I know some things are going to squeak about it.
