  1. Go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
  2. Download JDK
  3. Choose Linux x64 for Platform
  4. Download the RPM jdk-6u23-linux-x64-rpm.bin
  5. sudo sh jdk-6u23-linux-x64-rpm.bin
  6. sudo /usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/default/bin/java 20000

Sanity check:

[root@server ~]# java -version
java version "1.6.0_23"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_23-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)

Enjoy!

Do I need to uninstall gcj, if so what is the best method? – fivetwentysix Apr 3 '11 at 3:08
No need as far as I know. Why should gcj be a problem? – Yuval A Apr 5 '11 at 10:05
