Assuming one wants to install the Sun Java stuff for some reason,
is it advisable to use the rpm from sun.com or to rebuild the .nosrc.rpm
from jpackage?

I seem to remember that the .nosrc.rpm was considered superior from a
good-integration-in-Fedora point of view (paths, alternatives,...).

Am I wrong?

Jpackage one is the one to use as Sun's rpm according to my info isn't compatible with redhat/fedora (from what I have read haven't tested myself). Problem with jpackage is that they are exrtremely slow at updating when new version of jdk comes out so you just have to hope that no one exploits the security problems in old one before they get around updating.

Depending on the use case I could even recommend to just install it to opt without rpm and update alternatives to point in there by hand. This way you can update new version right away when Sun releases it. (Use case being that you don't use any packages which depend on java-rpm)
