I strongly disagree. I just did rpm -Uhv java-1_6_0... today, and that 
worked out. It simply installs it to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0... and 
updates /etc/alternatives/java. *Nothing* special.

That is not where it belongs IMHHO. /usr/java is not FHS-compliant *at 
all*. Either /usr/lib/program or better yet, /opt/program. SunRay SS and 
Mozilla are both in /opt or distributed over /usr/lib, too.
