If Sun claims to provide > xml-commons but doesn't actually do so, problem is sun jvm provides an implementation of xml-commons-apis but - it's not exposed by a symlink (could be fixed in the compat-package) - it's an internal implementation so either you require the external xml-commons-api inconditionnaly, and people using Sun JVM have a package installed on-system they don't really need, or you don't, and if you install another jvm in parallel rpm will think xml-commons-apis is already available, except only the sun jvm can use it Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
