Let me clarify my question.  What is the best way to replace the Java 
distribution included with the Openmanage software with the latest from Sun?  I 
ask because there are JAR files present in the Openmanage software which are 
not present in the JRE distro from Sun.

Yes. First: It's the wrong way around. Second: There is more to Java than just 
.jar files - there are lots of .so etc. JAR files actually rarely contain 
security issues, it's mostly the binaries which make up the JVM.

HTH,
