Which seems to have been pretty well hidden, so far all I've found are the 
src rpms.  The .bin installer I have, unpacked even.  But yum can't find 
the -fc .xml's for fc6 because nothing newer than fc4 is available.  So I 
disabled that repo in order for yumex to proceed.

The only likely looking candidate is in non-free, and is labeled:
java-1.5.0-sun-compat-1.5.0.09.jpp-noarch
which claims to be the jpackage compatibilty for suns jdk of the same 
version number.  Unforch, its 1.5.0.10 I have the .bin for.

I'm going to grab it with yum and see what it might be.

But that's not going to fly:
Missing Dependency: jdk = 2000:1.5.0_09-fcs is needed by package 
java-1.5.0-sun-compat

And I don't believe this package is available as the fc5 & fc6 listings 
aren't even there when I look at the mirrors.  What are we going to have 
to do, wait 2 years before OpenJava gets mature enough to use?
