If someone can point me to a prebuild of openjdk 1.7 for CentOS/Redhad 5.5+, it is very much appreciated. So far I only found discussion for Ferora, ubuntu, etc

Although 7 is in Gentoo and going into F16 (and probably the latest Ubuntu too), it won't appear in RHEL until there is at least a TCK available, as there is for 6. I also believe you'll have problems on RHEL/CentOS 5.x (see posts on distro-pkg-dev at openjdk.java.net) due to the age of some of the dependencies.  NIO relies on some newer system calls and libraries than are provided by RHEL 5.  For instance, there have been issues with building against glib. I'll try and have a look myself at getting RHEL5 + IcedTea 2.0 (which uses OpenJDK 7) working soon, but my RHEL5 box is pretty slow.  If I do, I could post the binaries somewhere.
