java 6u17

I am trying to install a diabetes program using wine and i need to have jre 1.6.0_07 or above and in a dos invirionment 6u17 worked very well.
how can I from a terminal install that version?
it has been awhile since using suse and does yum mot work anymore?
any help would be appreciated.

From man rpm:

QUERYING AND VERIFYING PACKAGES:
       rpm {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options]

From man zypper:


   Query Commands
       search (se) [options] [querystring] ...
              Search for packages matching given strings. * (any substring)  and  ?  (any  character)
              wildcards can also be used within search strings.

              Results  of  search are printed in a table with following columns: S (status), Catalog,
              Type (type of package), Name, Version, Arch (architecture). Status column  can  contain
              following  values:  i - installed, v - another version installed, or an empty space for
              neither of the former cases.


BTW, yum was never the official package manager for (open)SUSE.
