Edit the installjava script and increment the patch number, which should match the last digits on the downloaded file. Download all four files because the install script will try and process all four versions. The install script is located at
/afs/.slac.stanford.edu/package/java/common/install/installJava
The environmental variables are used by the install script to find the right directory.
