I followed the article from the following link

and successfully got Java working on a 32-bit FC3 machine.
The success inspired me to try to get Java working on an AMD64-FC3
machine. So I went back to the above article, this time starting
with the "1.5.0 version of the J2SDK", as the article advises.
I downloaded jdk-1_5_0-linux-amd64-rpm.bin and
jre-1_5_0-linux-amd64-rpm.bin. Also retrieved
jpackage.asc and jpackage.repo, installed both.
After using yum to install jpackage-utils, I got
confused. The article continues, saying to get
Sun's j2sdk-1_4_2_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin,
but the top of the article says to use 1.5.0.
So, I looked around Sun's website and found a
path to 1.5.0 and downloaded jdk-1_5_0-linux-amd64-rpm.bin.
Anticipating success at the end of all these steps, I next
used yum to install jedit, leaving as the last step,
yum install java-1.4.2-sun-compat
That's for 32-bit.
I do not know if JPackage has a java-sun-compat for 1.5 SDK.
It doesn't look like it.
You could try this:
http://www.jpackage.org/rpm.php?id=1291
I don't know for sure that will work with the amd64 j2sdk
You may have to modify the spec file, and maybe do some other things.
