Due to the fact that package get-jre7-oracle was removed from ABF because of Oracle licensing policy ROSA users now have to download and install Oracle Java packages from the official Oracle site.
This HOWTO is based on original RH tutorial awailble on this link: http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-sun-oracle-java-jdk-jre-7-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/
You can download the official Oracle Java RPMs from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html . You can also use tar.gz packages from same place.
If you can install appropriate RPM package (jdk-7u6-linux-i586.rpm, jdk-7u6-linux-x64.rpm, jre-7u6-linux-i586.rpm or jre-7u6-linux-x64.rpm), you can skip steps from 1 to 6, but steps from 7 to the end have to be done even in that case.
If you use RPMs, be prepared that you will get error like this after install
installing jre-7u6-linux-x64.rpm Preparing... ##################################################################################################### 1/1: jre ##################################################################################################### Unpacking JAR files... rt.jar... Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jre1.7.0_06/lib/rt.pack jsse.jar... Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jre1.7.0_06/lib/jsse.pack charsets.jar...

Just ignore that message, and skip steps 4 to 6.
If you use tar.gz packages, just skip step R4 (RPM installation).
Everything else is same in both cases.

rm -rf /usr/java/jre1.7.0_06 rm -f /usr/java/latest rm -f /usr/java/default
5. Extract package to appropriate folder
tar -xzf jre-7u6-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /usr/java/ --no-same-owner
6. Make symbolic links for latest and default
ln -sf ./jre1.7.0_06 /usr/java/latest ln -sf ./latest /usr/java/default
7. Install Java
alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/latest/bin/java 20000
8. Install JavaWS

If you need JDK instead of JRE, then you have to do something very similar.

4. Remove JRE 7u6 and links named latest and default
rm -rf /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_06 rm -f /usr/java/latest rm -f /usr/java/default
5. Extract package to appropriate folder
tar -xzf jdk-7u6-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /usr/java/ --no-same-owner

Checking Java installation
You can check current java, javac, javaws and libjavaplugin.so versions like this:
java -version javaws
And if you installed JDK
javac -version
Open http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp in your browser.
