java (j2sdk) did not installs


I had first installed jre-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin on my Fedora. Then when I tried to installed sjsas_pe-8_2_2005Q2-nb-5_0-fcs-bin-linux.bin
The wizard asked me where the java sdk was or give it the path of the java. Because I had not yet installed jsdk then (Although I tried to give the path of jre).
Now I have installed jdk-1_5_0_08-linux-i586.bin but when I started to install sjsas_pe-8_2_2005Q2-nb-5_0-fcs-bin-linux.bin it show that it had started the wizard on the first line and then it display that varyfing JVM and with that it ends.
The same thing happens when I tried to install netbeans-5_0-linux.bin

So First how can I install them and second can you please tell me how can I uninstall jre from the system (is there some procedure that I had to follow or I can just simply delete the jre (jre1.5.0_07) folder.

Well, it sounds a little unclear but did Java install properly in the first place? Could you run java and javac from any directory?
The .bin file from the official Sun website for Linux is just an extractor, once it is done you will have to move the extraced files where you want, and set the JAVA_HOME variable to point to the bin folder. My .bashrc has the following lines to achieve this:
Code:
    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/share/java/jdk
    export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:$JAVA_HOME/bin
You might also want to set a JRE_HOME variable.
That should at least get Java set up properly, and maybe the other installers will work fine after that.

Yes I had changed the .bashrc. (although I had previously already added the $JAVA_HOME to my /root/.bash_profile file and by which I could execute the java and javac commands from any directory.)

After you said I changed the .bashrc file and added the $JAVA_HOME, $JRE_HOME to the it but nothing happened.

Some one else suggested me that to install
netbeans-5_0-linux.bin ( or sjsas_pe-8_2_2005Q2-nb-5_0-fcs-bin-linux.bin) I must have the java 1.4 instead of the java 1.5. May be that might work.
