For the FLOSS ones you can use yum tricks For the non-FLOSS ones you have to assemble them yourself starting from the non-free material @jpp, and you can check the paths at the same time. A jpp-style repository does *not* maintain a central JVM list. That's how it was done before I wrote the "new" guidelines in 2003 and it was hell to maintain. In a jpp-style repository any jvm that drops directories in the right place may be used through alternatives, but the rest of the system need not care about the jvms that may or may not be packaged this way. If you want to bring back central lists from the dead you're welcome to try, but anyone who touched pre-1.5 jpp won't follow you. For more information, read jpackage-discuss archives around march 2003. -- Nicolas Mailhot
