Installing java-1.5_17 on Centos 5.5

Post by dremonie » 2015/12/28 18:26:11

So I'm building a application server and to keep things as identical as possible I need to install java-1.5_17. I'm not able to find any documentation on where I can find this particular version. I'm aware that it's outdated, but it's been requested to try and keep all versions the same. Can someone please tell me where I can find this version? Also, how much trouble could it cause to just go with 1.6?

Thanks.

Assuming you mean Java with the JMX bits (aka Oracle HotSpot JVM).
You may be lucky looking in the archives of Oracle's website, but I wouldn't hold out much hope.

Also, don't run 5.5 it is terribly riddled with exploits.
Yum update to the supported 5.11.
Then look at transitioning to CentOS 6 or 7 as CentOS 5 is near EOL.
