I have downloaded and installed JDK 1.5.0_11 by downloading and running

The problem with doing it the way you did is, you forgot you were
using an RPM-based distribution. Now rpm doesn't know about your java.
And when your java needs to be updated to patch something, rpm won't
be there for you.
Don't get me wrong, I've done it the lazy way too. But it's not the
Right Way.
Actually I installed the JDK RPM, however it is not the default Java on
the system... I have to use it explicitly when running java apps (like
Azureus). I tried to remove gcj and its "mess" via yumex, however due to
dependencies, openoffice.org and stuff get to be uninstalled too. Why do
such dependencies to gcj, like OO.Org exist? Has anyone managed to get
gcj, JPackage and stuff uninstalled?
