I found that there are some compatibility issues between RHEL5 and SL5 
in regards to how java 1.5.0 is being distributed.  We have a beta 
astronomy package which depends on RedHat's java-1.5.0-sun (specifically 
it lists libjava.so as a requirement).  Their repo does supply the 
required package, but yum removes the SL java-1.5.0-sun-compat as it 
conflicts with the Redhat packaging.

I guess my question is why does SL use different packaging from the 
upstream vendor for java 1.5.0?
