Here is one way to make it available to all users provided they use a bash
like shell. I'll assume Sun's j2sdk1.4.1 is installed in /usr/java
otherwise you'll have to change the paths.
Create a file /etc/profile.d/java.sh with the following contents
#!/bin/sh
# Set up paths for java
# /usr/java contains the current java sdk
export JDK_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1
PATH=$PATH:JDK_HOME/bin
Make it executable chmod 755 /etc/profile.d/java.sh
Log out and back in.
