Can find them in Dag Wieers' repo...

j2re-1.4.2-11.2.el4.rf.i586.rpm mozilla-j2re-1.4.2-11.2.el4.rf.i586.rpm

Here are the config files:

[prs at wx1 ~]$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo
[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
[dag_i386]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/i386/dag/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

Change "enabled=0" to "enabled=1" if you don't want to have to use
"--enablerepo=dag" on yum commands, and be sure to import the GPG key:

rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

Or for smart...
[prs at wx1 ~]$ cat /etc/smart/channels/dag.channel
### URL: http://dag.wieers.com/apt/
[dag]
name = RPMforge.net: Dag RPM Repository for (x86_64)
baseurl = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/x86_64/dag
type = rpm-md
priority = 10
[prs at wx1 ~]$ cat /etc/smart/channels/dag_i386.channel
### URL: http://dag.wieers.com/apt/
[dag_i386]
name = RPMforge.net: Dag RPM Repository for (i386)
baseurl = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag
type = rpm-md
priority = 10

The weirdness with the [dag_i386] stuff is to be able to find i386
packages on my x86_64 arch.  On a 32-bit machine the 1st entries are
sufficient.
