+ <section id="RHEL_JDK_support"><title>What Java Development
Kits (JDKs) are provided with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and what support does Red Hat offer
for them?</title>
+ <para>To make it as easy as possible for customers to install and run Java
applications on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, third-party Java Development Kits
+ (JDKs) from IBM and BEA are provided through the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extras
channel on Red Hat Network (RHN) and on the Red Hat Enterprise
+ Linux Extras CD. Red Hat's current and planned availability of the IBM JDK is
as follows:</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>IBM JDK 1.4.2.3. (currently shipped with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 3 Update 8 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update
4)</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>IBM JDK 1.5.0 (currently shipped with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4)</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>IBM JDK 1.4.2.6 (planned for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
4 Update 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5)</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>IBM JDK 1.5.3 (planned for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
Update 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5)</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>Red Hat does not provide the special version "IBM JDK 1.4.2 for
SAP"; this software is available directly from IBM.</para>
+ <para>The IBM and BEA JDKs, along with the other packages on the Extras CD,
are licensed separately (see http://www.redhat.com/licenses/thirdparty/eula.html)
+ and are not included under the Red Hat Enterprise Linux production-level Service
Level Agreement (SLA).</para>
+ <para>Customers who require enterprise-level support for either JDK package
must purchase it directly from the Java vendor. Red Hat's support of the
+ IBM and BEA JDKs included on the Red Hat Enteprise Linux Extra CD/RHN channel is
limited to:</para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>Assistance with installation and configuration of the
Red Hat provided Java Runtime environment.</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>Verification of proper operation through the use of a
Red Hat provided test program written in Java.</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ <para>Note that this support does not include assistance with the
development of Java applications, which is available with Red Hat's Development
+ Support Services. In addition, the JDKs are not eligible for a
"hotfix" through the Red Hat Hotfix process.</para>
+ <para>If the customer problem lies in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
operating system, Red Hat provides full production-level support for problem resolution.
+ If the problem lies in the JDK, Red Hat will escalate the problem to the
appropriate Java vendor via bugzilla, but cannot guarantee response or problem
+ resolution by that vendor.</para>

packages</title>

+ <para><emphasis

+ <para>The following packages comprise Sun's 1.5.0 Java release:
</para>
+ <para>java-1.5.0-sun</para>
+ <para>java-1.5.0-sun-demo</para>
+ <para>java-1.5.0-sun-devel</para>
+ <para>java-1.5.0-sun-jdbc</para>
+ <para>java-1.5.0-sun-plugin</para>
+ <para>java-1.5.0-sun-src </para>
+
+ <para>These packages include the Sun Java 5 Runtime Environment, Sun Java
+ 5 Software Development Kit, and Sun's 1.5.0_11-b03 SDK release.</para>
+ <para>The Java 5 Runtime Environment (JRE) consists of the Java virtual
machine,
+ the Java platform core classes and supporting files, and includes a Web
+ browser plug-in for running Java applets. It is the runtime section of the
+ Java 5 SDK, but without the development tools such as compilers and
debuggers.</para>
+ <para>The Java 5 Software Development Kit (SDK) is a development environment for
+ building applications, applets, and components that can be deployed on the
+ Java platform. The Java 5 SDK software includes tools useful for
+ developing and testing programs written in the Java programming language.
+ The Java 5 SDK software also includes a JDBC/ODBC bridge for Java
+ applications that need to communicate with a database. </para>
+ <para>Java users are advised to install these packages.</para>

+ <para>Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
+ relevant to your system have been applied.</para>
+ <para>To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: </para>
+ <programlisting><![CDATA[rpm -Fvh [filenames]]]></programlisting>
+ <para>where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
+ RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
+ not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
+ can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
+ desired RPMs.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
+ people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
+ launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: </para>
+ <programlisting><![CDATA[up2date]]></programlisting>
+ <para>This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
+ RPMs being upgraded on your system.</para></section>
+
+ <section id="RHEL 5"><title>RHEL 5</title>
+ <para>The instructions for RHEL 5 are similar to RHEL 4, except that RHEL 5
uses "yum" instead of "up2date",
+ and they are in the supplementary channel rather than the extras
channel.</para>
+
+ <para>Install the 32-bit Java plugin as shown below:</para>
+
+ <programlisting><![CDATA[$ yum install java-1.4.2-ibm-plugin
java-1.4.2-ibm.i386 libXp.i386 gtk+.i386]]></programlisting>
+<para>or</para>
+ <programlisting><![CDATA[$ yum install java-1.5.0-ibm-plugin
java-1.5.0-ibm.i386 libXp.i386 gtk +.i386]]></programlisting>
+
+ <para>Alternatively, download Java6 ( jdk-6u1-linux-i586-rpm.bin ) from
http://java.sun.com, and install it. Once done, install the Java plugin as
shown:</para>
+
+ <programlisting><![CDATA[$ ln -s
/usr/java/latest/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/]]></programlisting>
