No, it, nor any subsequent version that I've been able to locate will
install due to dependencies.
That particular file I have not been able to locate, what I have are
these:
[root@coyote src]# ls jpackage-utils*
jpackage-utils-1.6.6-1jpp.src.rpm jpackage-utils-1.7.3-1jpp.noarch.rpm
jpackage-utils-1.7.3-1jpp.src.rpm
Humm, I just made a liar out of me, this one just did install:
jpackage-utils-1.7.3-1jpp.noarch.rpm
So whats next? I have this jdk on site:
[root@coyote src]# ls jdk*
jdk-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin jdk-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.rpm
jdk1.5.0_10:
bin COPYRIGHT demo include jre lib LICENSE man README.html sample
src.zip THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.txt
The rpm was packed with rpm-4.0.4, and segfaults 4.4.3, which is how I
think my rpm database got fscked. The subdir you see is the result of
running the .bin file, and that also installed a /usr/java tree with lots
of stuff in it. FWIW OpenOffice found that and is using it! I also
linked the libjavaplugin_oji.so to the plugins dir of ff-1.5.0.8 and all
that now shows up in the about:plugins

But it'll be about a week before I can get to it as I have to make a trip
to upstate MI starting tomorrow. Flying is such a PITA that I've drove
that 1000 miles each way twice now, its easier. And I can take all those
engineering type tools they won't let you fly with anymore.

Yes, I was hoping too, but there is now a very confusing plethora of src
only packages available on the OpenJava site and while I'm not allergic
to building kernels, 2.6.19 is running here, building a java package from
scratch looks a bit daunting. I get the impression it would be up to the
user to make gcc build it since they're using their own compiler for it
up till now.
Many thanks Matthew.
