> - Unzip it in /usr/java (You get then /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_05)
> - Create a small script called java-export.sh with:
>    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_05
>    export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
> - In your shell (or add it in .bashrc) type:
>    source java-export.sh
> - Type: java -version
>     To check that you have version 1.5.0_05 running
> - Run your software and that's all!
You are going too fast if it is a newbe!
