Move the extracted directory j2re1.4.2 to /usr/local and
add /usr/local/j2re1.4.2/bin for PATH environment in your local bash profile
[tchung@localhost download]$ ll

drwxr-x---    8 tchung   tchung       4096 Jan 23 00:27 j2re1.4.2

[tchung@localhost download]$ sudo mv j2re1.4.2 /usr/local
Password:
[tchung@localhost download]$ cd ~
[tchung@localhost tchung]$ vi .bash_profile

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/local/j2re1.4.2/bin


TIP by Joseph Harnish Move the extracted directory j2re1.4.2 to /usr/local. Create a symbolic link named java to j2re1.4.2 with the following command: ln -s j2re1.4.2 java Edit /etc/profile, before PATH=..... put this: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin Then on the next step I point to /usr/local/java/plugin/i386/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so . This way when you upgrade java it still works.
