Sorry. Given multiple providers of java-devel, this is determined by compare_providers in yum (depsolve.py, if you want to read it). This algorithm computes a score for the providers of java-devel, based on the following: 1) whether one obsoletes the other 2) given the requesting package, whether the arch matches 3) given the requesting package, whether it comes from the same source RPM 4) given the requesting package, whether it shares a common name prefig 5) shorter name preferred If you're just going from the command line, the first four won't show a difference, so you're likely to get #5, shortest name.
