That being said, there's always JPackage as a source of java stuff. I'm
not sure how well it interoperates nowadays with RHEL5 (as RHEL5 java

The jpackage stuff works great but it's often behind on security level patches. I've had to update the SPEC (and send the patches upstream) for releases that are just changing the last minor number - Sun doesn't make their job easy, but you'd think a community effort like jpackage could stay more up-to-date than they do.

OpenJDK is in EPEL - I haven't tried it yet in any production environments.
