[CentOS] JPackage, Java 1.5.0, and CentOS 5?

Hey, y'all.

I don't know how many folks here are familiar with a blogging program
called 'pebble' http://pebble.sourceforge.net, but it's *supposed*
to be
an easy drop-in to a tomcat5 container.  I suppose that it is, once I
figured out how to get tomcat 5 working in CentOS 5, but I'm still
having problems with the java.

CentOS comes with Java 1.4.2, but I need Java 1.5 in order to run
pebble.  I've tried to use jpackage by downloading the jpackage.repo and
doing yum searches, but it looks like jpackage doesn't have RHEL 5 support.

I tried downloading and installing the SDK from Sun, but I must have
done that wrong because it broke a lot of other things.

Has anybody got any ideas?

Thanks!

Ben
