You got the GNU version not Sun java.
For sun java. it should be like

java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)

I guess the key phrase is "Java(TM)"  trademarked by Sun.

You do not need to download the SDK, just the java runtime environment should be OK for J to work.

latest java from sun website
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

another guide with more screenshots

sun version + gnu version so that you'll have 2 versions of java in your computer. It is important to configure sun java as your default java engine. The guide should provide detail steps to do so.

Does fedora get graphical package manager similar to that of debian/Ubuntu? That graphical tool makes installing sun java much easier.
