Just my notes on installing java so it is in a consistant place on all my machines.
Download the file
Run the download:
chmod +x /download/jdkxxx.bin cd /usr/local /download/jdkxxx.bin
Make a symlink for it:
ln -s jdkxxx java
Add it to the path (in /root/.bashrc if logging in as root)
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/java/bin: export PATH JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java export JAVA_HOME
