[Red5] red5 installation hurdles (java install?)

I'm having a lot of trouble installing red5.  I started with a clean 
cloud server running fedora.

Then I installed java:

    # yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin

This seemed to go well, but nothing after that really worked.  Do I need 
to install some other java components?

Thanks!

Here's what happened after I installed java:

The installation instructions say to

    # export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/

but when I tried to run

    # /opt/ant/bin/ant prepare
    Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly.
      We cannot execute /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun//bin/java

Upon inspection I determined that my install has put java in 
/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin, so in order to get "prepare" to run, I used

    # export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre/

which then gives me

    # /opt/ant/bin/ant prepare
    Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in 
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/lib/tools.jar
    Buildfile: build.xml
         [echo] java.home is 
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre and the target 
version is 1.6
    prepare:
        [mkdir] Created dir: /root/red5/bin
        [mkdir] Created dir: /root/red5/dist
        [mkdir] Created dir: /root/red5/bin/testcases
        [mkdir] Created dir: /root/red5/bin/testcases/testreports
    BUILD SUCCESSFUL

So, supposedly, I have "BUILD SUCCESSFUL", but I don't think so, because 
next when I try:

    # /opt/ant/bin/ant dist
    Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in 
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/lib/tools.jar
    .....
    .....  
    BUILD FAILED
