Following are the steps on how to install java sdk on CentOS:

  1. Remove any java package (free and open source implementation) previously (eventually) installed from the CentOS Linux as follows:
    yum erase jre
  2. Remove tomcat5 and all it’s related packages.
  3. Find the related *).bin file (jdk-6u20-linux-i586-rpm.bin) from the main page of the Sun’s official download page.
  4. After you have downloaded your bin file. Run it on linux shell as follows:
    chmod +x jdk-6u20-linux-i586-rpm.bin
./jdk-6u20-linux-i586-rpm.bin

    The install would happen as follows:
    Install java on centosInstall java on centos

  5. After that a yum install tomcat5 would put up Tomcat with no dependency problem at all.

  • You can enable syntax highlighting of source code with the following tags: <code>, <blockcode>, <c>, <cpp>, <drupal5>, <drupal6>, <java>, <javascript>, <php>, <python>, <ruby>. Beside the tag style "<foo>" it is also possible to use "[foo]". PHP source code can also be enclosed in <?php ... ?> or <% ... %>.
