This is false... as a general rule ;-)
I run only the 64 bit java rpm on my system. The only time you might
need the 32-bit java is if you have 32-bit native code that needs to
use JNI with it. Pure java applications work happily under 64-bit
java just fine.
In the old days, on Solaris, the 32-bit version was required to be
installed first before installing the 64-bit version. Today, for
Linux at least, the 64-bit version does not have any such dependancies.

I think you are correct in needing 2 versions if I remember right
in the
past I been I been told that that 64bit verion only works for stuff
written for it. Since most stuff is written for 32bit you also need
that
installed as well.
I was able to see it on the http://java.sun.com site:
It is labeled as:
jdk-6-linux-amd64-rpm.bin
It is further down on the list.
note that you should install BOTH 32bit and 64bit java on the system.
32bit first, then 64bit. I'm not quite sure why this is but its
what
we've had to do here to keep a wide range of software happy.
We're
still using jdk 5.
