What did you use to install it?
to become the owner you need to become root (like windows Administrator)
give the following command in a terminal window:
su -
following command will make user:group the owning user and group (-R means recursive):
chown -R user:group directoryname
The chown might not be necessary to remove the SUN Java stuf, ones you change to the root user.
Warning: If you used rpm to install SUN Java, a simple delete of the directory will not help you.
rpm -e jre
might work.
Kind regards,
Jan Gerrit
