You will need to install the latest Sun JRE 1.3.1...
Then, you need to add the path to the java folder to
your path variable. Sun tells you how to do this, but
whenever you reboot, you lose this setting. Here is
what you can you to permanently add java to your path.

First, you must edit the .bash_profile file in your
home dir.

Find the line that reads

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

Add the full path of the executable java to line right
after the equal sign.

PATH=/usr/java/jre1.3.1_01/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin

Don't forget all of the colons and slashes.

Thats how mine works. I run RedHat 7.2 and 7.1.

Also, if you want Java to work with netscape, sun
tells you how to configure the browser to use the jre
plugin. The instructions are weird, and not all apply,
but making the sym links is the key.


Don't forget to logout and relog in after modifying
your profile.
