java and redhat 9

[MrPopup]

wtf?

trying to install....all the reference materials for helping with installation refer to the java 2 sdk as something like

j2sdk-1_4_1_<version number>-linux-i586-rpm.bin

yet i just downloaded the latest version which is called:
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.4.2
<b>j2re-1_4_2-linux-i586-rpm.bin</b>

I followed the install instructions completely...i thought i screwed something up but it did install because i get an ALREADY INSTALLED MESSAGE when I tried a reinstall......Yet when i do a

java -version

i get
bash: java: command not found
