Setting up java tomcat on linux III - Install JAVA

Install JAVA

• mkdir /usr/local/java
• cd /usr/local/src
• sh j2sdk-1_4_2-linux-i586.bin
• mv j2sdk1.4.2_06 /usr/local/java
• cd /usr/local/java
• ln -s j2sdk1.4.02-06 java

Now the java directory will be in /usr/local/java/java. I do it like this so I can keep all my different JDKs/JREs in one directory and then just change the symbolic link to point to the current one.
