I have never had any luck with the rpm.
I have uses the tarball for a while now.
1. Download the tarball.
2. move / copy the tarball to where you wish java to reside
3. untar/gzip the tarball
4. apply alternatives
1. alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java
/usr/java/jre1.7.0_13/bin/java 20000
2. alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws
/usr/java/jre1.7.0_13/bin/javaws 20000
3. alternatives --install /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so
libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 /usr/java/jre1.7.0_13/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so 20000
4. /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
5. /usr/sbin/alternatives --config javaws
6. /usr/sbin/alternatives --config libjavaplugin.so.x86_64

and getting this, which isn't productive. Anyone have a better cheat sheet?
