Hi.. I have installed java in the following folder /usr/java/jre1.5.0_06 in linux, may i know
whether i should create JAVA_HOME variable like windows do ??  If I want to add the following

entries

JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06

where should I add ?? /etc/profile ? I added but it doesn't appear in ENV after I relogin

I recommend using the jpackage nosrc.rpm to create Sun java rpms.

A detailed Fedora-specific HOWTO for this is available here:

As far as I know that doesn't set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
Some java programs depend on that to find things like $JAVA_HOME/lib/jre/ext
or security settings to install or run correctly.

the currently chosen java version?
