How to uninstall JRE in Fedora Core 5

Hi, I'm new to linux and especially FC5, I was following instructions to install JRE so that web pages with Java applets would run, managed to install it but haven't gone as far as creating the plug-in link, but then noticed that what I really wanted to do was to install the SDK so I could a bit of Java programming too.

So my question is ... how do I uninstall JRE so that I can neatly install the SDK. I assume I cannot just delete the folder?

I used jre-1_5_0_6-linux-i586.bin and followed instructions from http://www.stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html#Java

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sumdude

Am I just too used to Windows - spreading files here there and everywhere, making entries in the registry?

Does the linux version install all the files in just one folder? If not, I'd rather find a method to uninstall properly and not leave any rogue files lying around.

Could there be a section created for uninstallations? There's seems enough questions about unistallations to warrant a seperate section.

Many Thanks,

Sumdude

I have been happily using different JDK avd JRE versions on Linux using the naive uninstallation method of removing the unused directory.

The last time I checked JDK's for Linux, they came in two flavours: a packaged one and a gizpped tarball (tar-gz) one. I always chose the latter one. Your mileage may of course vary ;-)
