Setting up java, ant, maven2 on Centos 5.2

Setup your jpackage repo:

# rpm --import http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage.asc

# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
# wget http://jpackage.org/jpackage.repo

Installing java:

Because of certain issues (https://www.zarb.org/pipermail/jpackage-discuss/2007-August/011745.html), you must install xml-commons locally.

Download the following from http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/jpackage/1.7/generic/free/RPMS/

1. http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/jpackage/1.7/generic/free/RPMS/xml-commons-1.3.03-11jpp.noarch.rpm
2. http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/jpackage/1.7/generic/free/RPMS/xml-commons-jaxp-1.3-apis-1.3.03-11jpp.noarch.rpm

# rpm -Uvh xml-commons-1.3.03-11jpp.noarch.rpm xml-commons-jaxp-1.3-apis-1.3.03-11jpp.noarch.rpm

Installing ant:

# sudo yum -y install ant

Install geronimo specs (to resolve conflicts when installing maven2)

# sudo yum -y install geronimo-specs

Installing maven2:

# sudo yum -y install maven2

You're good to go!
