I usually install java from a bin file downloaded from java.sun.com, I
unpack and install it in /opt. I then create symbolic link like this:
ln -s /opt/jre1.5.0_06 /java
Then I place the following two lines in /etc/profile
pathmunge /java/bin
JAVA_HOME="/java"
I then modify the export line and add JAVA_HOME to the end of it.
>From this point forward whenever I update my java package I only need
to recreate the symbolic link named /java and make it point to the new
/opt/jreWHATEVER directory and it work instantly.
