If you want to install the Java compiler as well as the runtime environment, the easiest thing to do is to [https://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp get it directly from Sun]. Follow their [https://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/install-linux.html installation instructions]; however, make sure that you use the "Linux self-extracting file" version. Converting the RPM with {{{alien}}} will not work.
