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

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

[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.
The java-1.5.0-sun package from JPackage doesn't install on Fedora 7
onwards due it having pathname-based dependencies on things that have
moved in the great modular X shake-up.
Here's how I get Sun Java 5 installed:
