I am encountering java issues that someone informed me was because I am using the SUSE java distribution, when I need to be using Sun's direct distribution. How might I go about removing the SUSE distribution, and what residual files will I need to watch for after the fact so that it does not cause problems after installing Sun's package? Adam

I, and perhaps others, would appreciate hearing what kinds of problems you're having and why you think they're related to SuSE's packaging of Sun's Java software. Could you elaborate a bit? For the record, I've had no trouble running Java software on my SuSE 10.0 system now (and my 9.3 before it), including Azureus, Tomcat, Eclipse, jEdit, JUDE and a large Java program of my own authorship.

Me neither, with the same list of applications + JBoss, Eclipse, DBVisualizer, ...
And I would warmly recommend to leave the SUSE Java packages installed, as other packages depend on
it being installed.
If you want to use the RPM provided by Sun, just grab it, install it and manually set your
JAVA_HOME, e.g. in ~/.profile
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_04
export JRE_HOME=$JAVA_HOME
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
