This is the most discussed topic on FC4. Besides doing a search of the Forum, which will provide tons of good information, you might also want to consider the instructions here: http://www.fedorafaq.org/ and here: http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_cor...ion_notes.html and here: http://shamsweb.50webs.com/faq.html#repo

Hi. I know it.

I installed complete JDK.
1/ download JDK from SUN (Now, version of Java is 1.4.2_10).
2/ Choose file *rpm.bin to install for FC.
3/ perform this command # ./j2sdk-1.4.2_10-Linux[...].bin
4/ I have file *.rpm
5/ install *.rpm with command #rpm -ivh j2sdk[...].rpm
6/ make CLASSPATH variable.
7/ test with simple code.
8/ Ok

it is very easy

Fedora Core specifically says not to use Sun's Java RPM package (see list of some problems here).
