Is there any way the IBMJava2 package can be distributed in
CentOS Plus and/or Extras? BTW, I assume the compat-libs are
already in CentOS itself?

Any way to make these part of the post-install script?
Or maybe just create another package in CentOS Plus/Extras
that has all the previous packages (compat-libs, IBMJava2,
etc...) as pre-requisities and does it for you?
