Jan: I have to strongly disagree. That install makes it impossible to stay current for those of us who work on the cutting edge of Java and Netbeans.
I don't care whether SUSE changes or Sun/OpenJDK changes but I wish they would get their act together for the benefit of we developers. When there is an update to Java I don't want to wait 3 months for SUSE/Novell to get around to updating some repositroy. I want it now. Additionally, I live on the daily development builds of Netbeans so I wouldn't even be able to THINK about using a SUSE repository for updates of my IDE.
