Im just a greenhorn, but they I have successfully installed j2sdk 1.3/1.4 on many diffrent distros of linux.
I download the Linux GNUZIP Tar shell script, (just becase i dont liked rpms) and then executed the script with:
sh j2sdk-1_4_0-linux-i386.bin
or
./j2sdk-1_4_0-linux-i386.bin
this will create a directory in your current directory named j2sdk1.4.0 or to that effect.
then you may move this directory to where ever you like.
( I like to place it here: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0)
then i modify my PATH to include the bin subdirectory of j2sdk directory.
thats it!
