blinded by simplicity - J2re install

Ok I know this is to simple to post, but I have searched the wiki, forums, and google.
I'm trying to install java and cant get passed the license agreement.
When I type pacman -S j2re it says

"The jre package is licensed software.
You MUST read and agree to the license stored in
/opt/java/jre/LICENSE before using it."

Then puts me back at the command prompt. I have run
cat /opt/java/jre/LICENSE | less
nano /opt/java/jre/LICENSE
mousepad /op/java/jre/LICENSE
and still I don't know how to "agree" to the license. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

note: I have only glossed over the LICENSE I will agree to it, but I get lost in the legal mumbo-jumbo

It is already installed. That's a post-install message.

If you don't like license - remove package. If you think it's fine - keep using. Very simple

Thanks for the reply.
I am really enjoying Arch and trying to learn all that pacman can do, but some times I do miss the the Super Cow Powers.
