That might have been true at one point in time but it isn't now. On a
stock RHEL5.x you can say 'yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk' and you get a
copy that appears to be built from what you find here:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/
and pretty much the same in CentOS - if you don't have epel enabled.
