I didn't say "java" I said "Sun's Java"
We have been putting sun's jdk into Scientific Linux since SL 3.
OpenJDK is in RHEL6 and is working fine, and I am proposing to leave it 
at that, to not put in any other versions of java.
With Oracle buying Sun, I'd really like to get away from putting their 
java into the distribution.
