Ok, all you javaphiles, explain to me why, when I was looking to try to remove java-1.5.0-gcj and the -devel, it wanted to remove, as dependencies, things like tomcat6, ant, and gcc-java. Note that java-1.6.0-oipenjdk and -devel are installed....

What does yum deplist tomcat6 say?

Among a ton o' other things, package: tomcat6.noarch 6.0.24-36.el6_2 dependency: java provider: java-1.5.0-gcj.x86_64 1.5.0.0-29.1.el6 provider: java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.6.0.0-1.41.1.10.4.el6 provider: java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.6.0.0-1.50.1.11.5.el6_3 provider: java-1.5.0-gcj.x86_64 1.5.0.0-29.1.el6 provider: java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.6.0.0-1.56.1.11.8.el6_3 provider: java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.6.0.0-1.57.1.11.9.el6_4 provider: java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.6.0.0-1.42.1.10.4.el6_2 provider: java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.6.0.0-1.43.1.10.6.el6_2

You'd think there'd be options, but nooooo....
