You should be able to configure yum to always act as if the -y switch
had been passed. See the "assumeyes" parameter.
However, packages replacing others' files is a bad idea. That's why
by default it requires confirmation or special options. I urge you to
consider instead building packages that do not require such
treatment. If you download the jboss source RPM, you should be able
to quickly build an alternative jboss rpm that incorporates your
changes. (Perhaps you would call *that* "jboss-fix".) You can make
such an alternative package satisfy other packages' dependencies on
jboss by appropriate use of the "Provides:" header.
