I suppose they belong to libgcj. You can check with: $ rpm -qf /usr/bin/rmic and remove the package that is listed. If nothing is listed, the files were likely created during %post -- check with: $ rpm -qa --scripts | grep /usr/bin/rmic > (They really do get in the way.) Since you're about to install Sun's JDK, I would suggest using the jpackage.org repository. You can find some instructions here: http://mpeters.us/linux/j2sdk.php The alternatives system may then be used to point these files to the correct binaries. -- Ziga
