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.

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/> -----Original Message----- > From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On > Behalf Of Edward Diener > Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 3:28 PM > To: centos at centos.org > Subject: [CentOS] Java JDK on CentOS 4.4 > > I did not choose Java when I installed CentOS 4.4 and I want toinstall> a JDK to do Java programming.
