Well, what I'm doing is:
I'm going to leave the packages installed as they are, and I am currently

db for updates...
It doesn't if you just use the built-in installer.
Grab the Sun .bin package, then get the jpackage.org nosource RPM and
follow the instructions for building a FC-compatible set of RPMs from the
.bin.
Do you have a link to the specific instructions you mean? I always
get lost in the vast quantity of different versions on jpackage.org.

The FC5 way to do the initial setup step is to install fedora-rpmdevtools,
then run fedora-buildrpmtree as the user doing the building.
