Ther are currently no third party yum/up2date configs distributed with
CentOS. That aside, even if you did do so it wouldn't do any good. There
are some free (as in speech) packages on jpackage.org, but the jre stuff is
not so it must be rebuilt. See http://www.jpackage.org/rebuilding.php for
how/why.
