upgrading java

Hi there

I have been tasked with upgrading java on one of our boxes to version 6.0 or later (package version 1.5 or later someone told me). but ive been trying to find the SUNW package for this and cant see it, so I checked pkginfo for installed package and there isnt one ....even though java is installed eg

Code:

[root@server] # java -version
java version "1.3.1_10"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_10-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_10-b03, mixed mode)

but .....

Code:

[root@server] # pkginfo | grep -i jav
[root@server] #

Does anybody know how I go about upgrading this? and do i need to uninstall the old one before installing the new ??

any help would be grealty appreciated

DESCRIPTION

       The JPackage Project has two primary goals:

	- To provide a coherent set of Java software packages for Linux, satisfying all quality requirements of other applications.

	- To establish an efficient and robust policy for Java software packaging and installation.
	 We  focus  on	free and open source software whenever possible. For convenience, we also provide non-free packages without the restricted
	 source code.

       Our RPMs are generic in that they should work on any RPM based Linux distribution (Mandriva, Red Hat, SuSE, others). Other packaging format
	 suggestions are welcome too.
