JDK donload file with extension '.bin'

I have donwnloaded de JDK 1.4.2 from sun website for Linux. But the downloaded file has '.bin' extension and RPM cannot install it on RH EL 3.0.

[root@ita1 oracle]# rpm -i j2re-1_4_2_06-linux-i586.rpm
j2re-1_4_2_06-linux-i586.rpm: not an rpm package (or package manifest):
[root@ita1 oracle]# rpm -i j2re-1_4_2_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin
j2re-1_4_2_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin: not an rpm package (or package manifest):

Any idea?

Re: JDK donload file with extension '.bin'

The JDK downloads are usually in a self-executing 'shar' format.

You need to 'execute' the .bin file, which will extract the RPM's for you.
