I spent the better half of my morning trying to install java on a Cent OS installation on Vmware. Well more time spent trying to download the java installation (bin) file from Oracle website. if you try to download directly you might get a "302 temporarily moved" error.
I downloaded the file onto my host machine, uploaded it to public folder of Dropbox and used Wget from Cent Os using the public link given by dropbox. and this time it worked like a charm :) .
The rest of the installation was smooth, thanks to this article..
