And in case you're unfamiliar with JPackage, that's easy to do; a quick paraphrase of http://jpackage.org/rebuilding.php: 1. Download and install the nosrc rpm http://jpackage.org/rpm.php?id=2546 2. Put the Sun package in your rpmbuild/SOURCES 3. rpmbuild -ba rpmbuild/SPECS/java....spec 4. enjoy your RPMs in rpmbuild/RPMS/ 5. Add your name and a comments to http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4680244.html to get Sun to produce reasonable RPMs in the first place!
