first: JAVA != JAVASCRIPT - REALLY!

why do you not try the openjdk which starting with JDK7 is
the reference-implementation before mangling with third
party software outside the RPMDB and taint your system?

this is not windows where the frist step is download
something manually from the internet

F16: yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk icedtea-web
F17: yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk icedtea-web

however, i do not know how the rpm-install behaves after manual
dealing with symlinks, without after install the packages all
is working out of the box
