# rpm -qa | grep -E '^(java|jdk|jre)-' jre-1.6.0_03-fcs java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-27jpp jdk-1.6.0_03-fcs
java is a CentOS package. jdk and jre are from Sun. (I need Java >= 1.5.0 for an application I'm installing.)
# update-alternatives --config java
There are 1 programs which provide 'java'.
Selection Command ----------------------------------------------- *+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java
But how do I tell my system to use the 1.6.0 version? Is there a step that I'm missing to finish the upgrading?
Thanks, Scott

Don't get it directly from Sun. Use the jpackage versions. (The hoops you have to jump through are worth it.)

I'm going to need a wee bit more direction. I don't see any newer java-* packages in any of the repositories. Can you point me in a little bit more of the direction I should take?
Thanks, Scott

Ok,
Maybe you need to take a look on here: http://www.jpackage.org/installation.php

Hi Scott,
Take a look on http://www.jpackage.org
On that repo are RPMs to change the alternatives, and docs on howto install it.
Antonio.
