Set up JDK for fedora

 cp jdk-1_5_0_14-linux-i586.bin /usr/java
 sudo chmod o+x jdk-1_5_0_14-linux-i586.bin
 sudo ./jdk-1_5_0_14-linux-i586.bin

 # environment variables for fedora  --> added to /etc/profile

 # added for Fedora Repository Server
 alias ll='ls --color=auto -alh'
 alias vi='vim'
 FEDORA_HOME=/var/opt/fedora
 JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14
 CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib
 CATALINA_HOME=$FEDORA_HOME/tomcat
 JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=$FEDORA_HOME/server/truststore"
 JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=tomcat"
 JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xmx64m"
 export FEDORA_HOME JAVA_HOME CLASSPATH CATALINA_HOME JAVA_OPTS
 PATH=$PATH:$FEDORA_HOME/server/bin:$FEDORA_HOME/client/bin:$FEDORA_HOME:$JAVA_HOME/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

Note: I am using the option -Xmx64m for Java because I am using an OpenVZ virtual private server. Java 5 does not run very well within a virtual private server unless you constrain the amount of memory it can grab.
