I'm going to leave the packages installed as they are, and I am currently Downloading the Java SDK5.0 from Sun's official site... It's a massive 131MB download, and in .bin format, so I really hope it gets registered with rpm's db for updates...
keep you lads posted

You could "rpm -qa | grep java", or you could use the GUI software
installer (under the Applications menu), or you could just leave them
there and build and install the JPackage Sun rpms (jpackage.org) and use
the alternatives system to select which one to use.
