The relevant "java-sun-compat" and other widgets are over on JPackage,
but awkwardly out of date. RHEL provides them as part of their
"supplementary" packages, which is not completely integrated with
CentOS.
If you need the latest/greatest, to play nicely, I can publish my
.spec files for the various Sun/Oracle published components. My
"jpackage-utils-compat-el5" package, in particular resolves some the
RHEL/CentOS spacific requirements for the wildly out of date
jpackage-utils components.
