CentOS docs - Mar 2010 - Java on CentOS

Hi,

I just created a wiki account
and want to update the
Java on CentOS HowTo.

Outline: Update section about Java6 and
describe three different ways
- use openjdk
- use suns jdk 1.6 update 18 for desktops
through setting JAVA_HOME and path
- use suns jdk 1.6 update 18 for servers
with alternatives

regards
Dietrich

P.S. please create a homepage
for me - DietrichSchmidt.

Excellent idea!

I'd be interested to review it and also contribute guidelines on how
to build recent versions of the OpenJdk on CentOS, using the IcedTea
harness (local build + RPM packaging)

If it's ok for you, please let me know when you're done!
