> So is this a java or apache or mandrake issue?

my guess is that it is more of an RPM issue.  When you install files
(e.g. the jdk files) using something other than rpm (e.g. executing .sh
install) then the rpm database does not get modified to reflect the
existence of the newly installed files.  So it (rpm) continues to think
there is a dependency problem.  

To get around this, you can either 
1.  try to find a jdk that has been packaged into rpm format.  (this is
preferred, since it will keep all your packages under rpm management),
or
2.  use the --nodeps option with rpm.  This will cause rpm to ignore the
fact that its database shows unmet dependencies.  use with care, but in
this case it would be appropriate.
