I think there were some messages posted here or in a similar group a
while back that discussed manually changing the system configuration
so a different Java version was used by default; a "google groups"
search might turn up what you want if nobody reiterates here. I don't
remember the details off the top of my head, and can't vouch for what
was said since I didn't try it; I usually go to jpackage.org and get
their "nosrc.rpm" file for the latest Sun Java. It works with the
non-rpm Sun binary Java file the way a src.rpm file works with source
code, except that you have to go to sun.com to download the Java
binary separately. In other words, it automates the process of
converting the Sun binary into a set of rpm files tailored to the
system in use, by means of the "rpmbuild" command. That seems to work
well on CentOS, which is supposed to be functionally equivalent to
RHEL. I used that procedure when I wanted the latest JDK for NetBeans
and Eclipse; it even creates a matching Mozilla Java plugin.
