Rip it out and replace it with openjdk. You'll be using what both
Oracle and the upstream RHEL are collaborating on, and avoid a stack
of Java incompatibility issues. If you need the Sun version of Java,
you can grab RPM's from Oracle, but integration with older
RHEL/CentOs/SL releases was awkward dueo to various integration
components oriented around RHEL's particular rebundling of it for
commercial customers in the "optional" channels.

See above. Those are not GPL or freeware or normally "open sourced"
packages: that's why JPackage does not provide bundled RPM's for them,
but only framework ".nosrc.rpm"' packages that require manual download
and agreement to the Java licensing to build. I published a few
updates for those, and threw in the towel as wasted effort with RHEL 6
and RHEL 6 came out with very successful openjdk bundles.
