I have been following the instructions here

What's wrong with the java-1.4.2-gcj-compat? There is no
dependency impediment of which I am aware.
My installation is maintained with the first part narrative

I'll try a bump to U7 from Sun and see how it goes:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Java SE Development Kit 6u7
jdk-6u7-linux-x64-rpm.bin
and note any changes after the sig; hold on ... back ... no --
I see no Dependency or Requres" problem using
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat with jdk-1.6.0_07-fcs
A side note: To Sun's credit, the adoption of the 'latest'
link simmplifies matters, and I need to update my writeup's a
bit ...

On a related side note, I see the following is still in the U7
License Agreement, which has been an impediment to CentOS
inclusion of Sun's Java in the past:
(viii) You shall indemnify Sun for all damages
arising from your failure to comply
with the requirements of this Agreement.
Exposure to liability to an potential asserted violation,
('(vii) You may not include any third party software on the
Media which is intended to be a replacement or substitute for
the Software;', anyone? /me thinks of 'java-1.4.2-gcj-compat'
which is a partial replacement, essentially be definition)
without CentOS having had anyone step forward since the last
time this question came up, offering to 'pay the freight' to
indemnify the project against such liability.
