java installation issues

[JOYCE POLZIN]

I have never had any luck with the rpm. 
I have uses the tarball for a while now. 




    1. Download the tarball. 
    2. move / copy the tarball to where you wish java to reside 
    3. untar/gzip the tarball 
    4. apply alternatives 


        1. alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jre1.7.0_13/bin/java 20000 
        2. alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/java/jre1.7.0_13/bin/javaws 20000 
        3. alternatives --install /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 /usr/java/jre1.7.0_13/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so 20000 
        4. /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java 
        5. /usr/sbin/alternatives --config javaws 
        6. /usr/sbin/alternatives --config libjavaplugin.so.x86_64
