Java 1.5 works fine.  What errors are you seeing?

well, i'm trying to see if I can use the latest JRE from sun's website, or is a certain version required? It almost works with the java that comes in rhel 5.1, it just didnt work correctly. Its too bad the JRE couldn't be included already in rhel 5, I can't see why not, 4 had it in the extras CD. You said you never tested with some recent java versions right?
