I have the same requirement to install Sun JDK, not openJDK.  Below is
the module I am using.  I would be grateful for suggestions on how
this install can be done better.

Thank you,
Jon


class java {

    package {"java-1.6.0-openjdk":
        ensure  =>  absent,
    }

    exec {"java_install":
        cwd     =>  "/opt",
        command =>  "/usr/bin/yes | /opt/share/downloads/java/jdk-6u24-
linux-x64.bin",
        creates =>  "/opt/jdk1.6.0_24/COPYRIGHT",
        require =>  Package["java-1.6.0-openjdk"],
    }

    file {"/usr/bin/java":
        ensure  =>  "/opt/jdk1.6.0_24/bin/java",
        require =>  Exec["java_install"],
    }

}
