[CentOS] Java JDK on CentOS 4.4

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/
