The default CentOS repository is quite old and i cannot find what i need. The JPackage Project is designed for providing up-to-date java packages for Linux user. Please refer to the JPackage Official Website for more details.

To add the JPackage Repository for yum 2.1 or later. Go to /etc/yum.repos.d directory and created a new repo file.

/etc/yum.repos.d/jpackage.repo

# Be sure to enable the distro specific repository for your distro below:

Please note that only the [jpackage-generic] and [jpackage-generic-updates] are enabled and i also set gpgcheck=0 such that we don’t need to import the repository key.

Type yum update and your JPackage Repository is ready.

Done =)
