 I take your point.  Does simply rebuilding that RPM fix this problem?
Rebuilding that RPM fails:

    [javac] /home/jamesjer/rpmbuild/BUILD/axis-1_2_1/src/org/apache/axis/i18n/ProjectResourceBundle.java:363:
clearCache() in org.apache.axis.i18n.ProjectResourceBundle cannot

is static final
    [javac]     public static void clearCache()
    [javac]                        ^
Oh, great.  :-(

That's an incompatible change from Java 1.5 to 1.6.

Java 1.6 has a final method clearCache(), 1.5 doesn't:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/ResourceBundle.html
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/ResourceBundle.html
So someone has noticed that shipping a 1.6'ish JVM isn't necessarily going to work for everyone who needs to run current java applications?

Since OpenJDK is >= 1.6 (ignoring gcj and other GNU Classpath-based
JVMs), I'm not sure if there's a better solution.  Is there?

The obvious solution is to ship a jpackage nosrc style rpm for the Sun Java versions that you are unwilling to include. That would fix up the fedora rpm dependencies and alternatives symlink weirdness that make using your own downloaded binary painful otherwise. Or maybe someone can get the jpackage people to document which of their packages will work for recent fedora versions.
