There are many reasons for using Sun java. I don't know why Marcel 
needed Sun java,
but in my case it would be missing APIs and speed. Other reasons could 
be that jpackage
use a directory structure that is nonstandard from a Java perspective, 
this could potentially break certain applications or at least their 
installers.

So to install java, I  simply download the binary self extracting 
package from Sun
unpack it in /opt and set JAVA_HOME and update the PATH variable by 
creating a java.sh
in /etc/profile.d
