But that's kind of horrible because now you have to keep it updated
yourself.

Doesn't the alternatives mechanism take care of that? It doesn't seem
that well thought out, though. What if you want to run some programs
under one java version and others with a different one? We're trying to
update some systems currently running under centos 3.x/java 1.4.x to the
most current versions that will work so I'd like to install the 1.4,
1.5, and 1.6 versions side-by-side on the same development machine so if
we run into any problems we can easily test under earlier versions to
see if there are differences.
