Did not make it DRAFT as it has evolved from old pages, has been well
tested, and is near perfect. :-)

Constructive criticism is, as usual, solicited and welcomed.

*** Excellent article !

*** I've made the following modifications to it:

- replaced references to jre-u24 with u25 ( which was used in some
places but not everywhere )

- took advantage of the fact that jre creates a symlink named
"latest":

[wolfy@wolfy ~]$ ll /usr/java/

total 4

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root** 16 Mar* 2 12:17 default ->
/usr/java/latest

drwxr-xr-x. 7 root root 4096 Mar* 2 12:18 jre1.6.0_23

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root** 21 Mar* 2 12:17 latest ->
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_23


which can make upgrading much easier, as future versions of jre will
update the symlink but this will not require tweaking the
alternatives links.

One comment. I thought linkage of the libjavaplugin_jni.so file is redundant?

May be superstitious behavior on my part. I saw it recommended
somewhere to use both and have followed that, but it seems to work fine
without the libjavaplugin_jni.so link, but the link does not seem to
cause problems. That can be deleted if not needed.
