I dont know if there is an rpm for it, but installing using the sun binary
is very easy AFAIR, you just extract the archive, cd into it and run the
build script, it asks you where to install to and it does the rest.
Sorry the instructions are so vague but I haven't installed it on linux in
about 6 months

you can get it here
http://java.sun.com/j2se/corejava/index.jsp

I'm assuming it is the j2se you want, it includes the j2re. Otherwise you
can get the j2re from http://java.sun.com
