I'd recommend the J2SE from here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp (Java on Linux isn't quite
up to par, IMO).  I use the non-RPM bundle of netbeans and the J2SE
and install it in /opt.  You can update your path appropriately for
your Java applications to work.

 Hi Christofer,
 
 Many thanks for your prompt reply. I also installed J2SE in /opt directory. However, when I run " java -version" command, I got the information that about still having the old java (1.4.2) version working, instead of the newest one. I became worried about the possibility of messing up the configuration of FC4. Could you or anyone alse, please, let me know how could I update my path appropriately for my Java applications to work with the new Java version and its JVM? Sorry, if that question seems to be too stupid, but, as I told before, I have no experience with java, etc.
 
 Thanks, once again!
 Hoffmann
