I've been using Oracle's version of JRE 1.7.x for the browser plugin on

directories in /usr/lib labelled java and java 1.x, most of them old
versions.
It may be a stupid question, but is there any compelling reason for
those empty directories to be there? From all I can see, they're just
taking up space.
They are part of the package jpackage-utils, so you should not remove them.
You can check with rpm -qf if a directory/file is part of any package.
Shrug. OK, but that doesn't explain the reason for them. I suppose it
doesn't have to make sense to me, as long as stuff works.
