My take on things is that java and a lot of other things are really 
intended to work with several versions concurrently available - and 
perhaps running concurrently, where RPM wants to only have one and even 
with alternatives can only make one the default.  So any time you don't 
want the defaults, you have some design decisions to make.  Still, I'm 
surprised that Sun and RH didn't make nice and have a publicly available 
RPM that puts things in RH-style places.
