I tried a few of the methods here, and I tried right from the Java site and it never works.
I got java here
http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_m ... ?locale=en
I got the install instructions here
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/li ... nstall.xml
I hope some one can set me straight?
Thanks Bob

Check out this link:

This will install SUN's jre and supply you with updates when available.
Hope this helps,

I made an install script just to do this.
See the thread:

The 3rd party repo is easier, but some people don't lie using 3rd party repos. I would personally rather just install it myself directly from the package, thus the reason for making the script.

I know it's solved but in case you want to do it the hard way without using any third party repo etc, you may want to follow the instructions here:
