Is there an officially supported/recommended way of having Sun java

Yes, we recommend creating a Sun JPackage RPM, then installing that.
All the java tools in /usr/bin will then point to Sun's Java
implementation.
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!

That is all swell for me and you guys, but my target audience are
desktop end-users - any need to use the shell or any extra steps are
very detrimental to their experience. Is it possible to automate all
these steps in the preinstall / postinstall scripts of a stub rpm?
