When you download the SDK from http://java.sun.com/, you can pick the
rpm.  The RPM file will download as a rpm.bin file.  This is just the
RPM wrapped in a script to make you agree to the license.  chmod +x the
rpm.bin file then run it.  After you agree to the license you will have
a .rpm in the same directory.  You can install this RPM with:
    rpm -ivh  j2*.rpm

Follow the other instructions posted about adding
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03/bin to your PATH.
