I'm using Fedora 6, because its localization is much better than other
distributions, and the look is professional. 

Here are the steps you could try:
1. download jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586-rpm.bin from
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp. Please don't
download other files than this bin.

2. chmod 0755 jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586-rpm.bin

3. ./jdk-1_5_0_12-linux-i586-rpm.bin
now you can find the jdk files in /usr/java/jdk-1_5_0_12

4. yum install jpackage-utils

5. wget
ftp://jpackage.hmdc.harvard.edu/JPackage/1.7/generic/RPMS.non-free/java-1.5.0-sun-compat-1.5.0.12-1jpp.i586.rpm

6. rpm -ivh java-1.5.0-sun-compat-1.5.0.12-1jpp.i586.rpm

7. alternatives --config java
select the jdk you just installed.

That's all. Good luck!

I've lost too many hours dealing with .rpms to ever really want to revisit 
Fedora Core.
While I have been a fan of FreeBSD for years, I'm really impressed with Ubuntu.
I've been testing it on a Dual Quad core box with 8 gig of memory running AMD64 
version.
Nice and fast, and installing everything "just works".
