Java 5

[Rick Chen]

Hello Mark
I just did a upgrade
rpm -Uvh jre-1_5_0-linux-i586.rpm
it will handle previous version
to install plugin for firefox just link to firefox plugin
/usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
to your path/firefox/plugins/ 
if you use mozilla then
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ 

if you want to run java class program on console
you can link 
/usr/java/jre1.5.0/bin/java
to /usr/bin/

hope it help
