Here is the procedure we use to build a set of Sun Java rpms.
To build a set of RPMs for java from java.sun.com
-------------------------------------------------
1. Install rpmdevtools if it's not already installed from extras
# yum --enablerepo=extras install rpmdevtools\*
Run buildrpmtree.
This installs an rpm build environment ( ~/rpmbuild/* ) under the
current user.
# buildrpmtree
3. Install jpackage.repo from JPackage
# cd /etc/yum.repos
# wget http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage.repo
4. Download the latest Java SDK from sun.java.com.
To build a set of RPMs make sure you get the jdk-xxx-linux-i586.bin
file not the jdk-xxx-linux-i586-rpm.bin file
#ftp://ftp.sun.com.........
Copy it to ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
5. Download the latest java-xxx-sun-xxxjpp.nosrc.rpm from JPackage.org
( check the JPackage location for this package )
6. Build the JDK RPMs
# rpmbuild --rebuild java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.09-1jpp.nosrc.rpm
If the build is successful there will be a set of java RPMs in
~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i586
java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.09-1jpp.i586.rpm
java-1.5.0-sun-alsa-1.5.0.09-1jpp.i586.rpm
java-1.5.0-sun-demo-1.5.0.09-1jpp.i586.rpm
java-1.5.0-sun-devel-1.5.0.09-1jpp.i586.rpm
java-1.5.0-sun-fonts-1.5.0.09-1jpp.i586.rpm
java-1.5.0-sun-jdbc-1.5.0.09-1jpp.i586.rpm
java-1.5.0-sun-plugin-1.5.0.09-1jpp.i586.rpm
java-1.5.0-sun-src-1.5.0.09-1jpp.i586.rpm
