Yesterday I downloaded the "Linux x64 RPM in self-extracting file" jdk-1_5_0_09-linux-amd64-rpm.bin from Sun's website and it installed it easily. "chmod +x jdk-1_5_0_09-linux-amd64-rpm.bin" "./jdk-1_5_0_09-linux-amd64-rpm.bin"
It ends up in /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_09/

I did not choose Java when I installed CentOS 4.4 and I want to
install
a JDK to do Java programming. What is the default Java JDK for CentOS 4.4 ? I see under YumEx very little which looks like a Java JDK. Is there one in the distribution ? Is there a way to get Sun's latest JDK
5
installed safely and successfully on CentOS 4.4, perhaps via an RPM
for
it tailored to CentOS 4.4, or should I just use the one on Sun's web site ? After installing the RPM is there anything else I have to do to get it to work properly in CentOS 4.4 ? Any help is gratefully appreciated.

Thanks, that worked well. I basically followed the instructions for JPackage at http://www.jpackage.org/installation.php, using alternatives if I ever need more than one Java package, and now have the latest Java 5.0 setup properly for CentOS 4.4.
