For your sanity's sake, I'd recommend just dropping the Sun binary(ies)
under /usr/java/java-version-number and use explicit paths and JAVA_HOME
and CLASSPATH settings when starting the programs. Otherwise you'll
have trouble if you need more than one jvm version. The Sun RPM package
doesn't set up the expected symlinks that the alternatives system uses
and the Centos repos don't have a copy that works either. There are
some other RPM-packaged versions around but they may or may not do the
right thing with alternatives and even if they do, that scheme can only
work with one jvm version at a time.
