    You can also download Java Binary Package and install it. First download the java .bin file for internet, it is easily available. After downloading is completed copy the file to /opt and issue the following command
    sudo sh ./jre-6u1-linux-i586-rpm.bin
    sudo update-alternatives --config java
    (And pick the one you just installed as your default version.)
    java -version
    If any problem feel free to post again.
