why not at least java-sun-compat package, that symlink in the install, like
the java-gcj-compat actually do?
jpackage support java-sun-compat for 1.4 and 1.5 (although i can't install
both one cleanly now)
when i download the sun rpm, whe download a .bin executable, that when is
executed, put a text for agrement and after this put an rpm in your system to
install.
we can install sun rpm, and after this a java-sun-compat wrapper that work
with alternatives. just like jpackage.
