If you add the following files Java will be added to the path for all 
users when they log in (unless they override it), set the paths as 
appropriate for the version of java you installed:

[bevan@wallace ~]> cat /etc/profile.d/java.csh
if ( "${path}" !~ */usr/java/j2re1.4.2/bin* ) then
        set path = ( $path /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/bin )
endif

[bevan@wallace ~]> cat /etc/profile.d/java.sh
if ! echo ${PATH} | grep -q /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/bin ; then
        PATH=${PATH}:/usr/java/j2re1.4.2/bin
fi
