I am also running OpenSolaris 2009.06 on my home system.
/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.6.0/bin looks more like a JRE than a JDK:
So is this a deployment bug or an OpenSolaris bug or what? Surely a JRE
should not be getting installed in /usr/jdk, nor should it be called
jdk1.6.0.
Who's responsible for this?
IMO - OpenSolaris packaging, although I couldn't locate a bug report for
it. The initial install is minimal, presumably so that it will fit on a
bootable CD.
For more information, take a look here:

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is already bundled with OpenSolaris OS. But
for Java development, you need to download and install the Java Development Kit
either form http://java.sun.com or from the official IPS repository. To enable
Java development support, execute the following command:

The OpenSolaris OS comes with the Java runtime integration plugin
(SUNWjre-config-plugin), JSS - Network Security Services for Java
(SUNWjss), and the JDK Runtime Environment (SUNWj<version>rt).
You might want to install the JDK Dev Tools (SUNWj6dev), the Java
Development cluster (java-dev), or other packages.

Looking at the packages on Solaris it seems the JRE always installs
itself as-if actually a JDK. That way you get the full JDK by combining
the different packages.
Live and learn :)
Cheers,
David
