install sql developer

I'm running CentOS 5.5 x64
I went to the Oracle site
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/sql/index.html
I downloaded jdk (Java Development Kit)
jdk-6u21-linux-x64-rpm.bin
Phil Schaffner's tips and tricks were helpful but I didn't follow them exactly
http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/PluginsFor64BitFirefox
sh ./jdk-6u21-linux-x64-rpm.bin
alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jre1.6.0_13/bin/java 2
alternatives --config java
I am completely unfamiliar with the alternatives command
this step comes back with a prompt to choose a java alternative, I choose
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_13/bin/java
the first time I started sqldeveloper I got this message:
Type the full pathname of a J2SE installation (or Ctrl-C to quit), the path will be stored in ~/.sqldeveloper/jdk
I entered:
/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_21
and it works!
the pop-up New / Select Database Connection was a little confusing
Connection Name is just an arbitary name that you assign, I had to type set Connection Type to TNS and set the Network Alias to the hostname in the TNS file
