I see, but that still makes a difference, rpm allows you to install both 
at the same time while zypper does not.

How would rpm behave in this scenario?
  # rpm -ivh java-1_5_0-sun-plugin-0.rpm java-1_6_0-sun-plugin-0.rpm
  # rpm -Uvh java-1_5_0-sun-plugin-1.rpm java-1_6_0-sun-plugin-1.rpm

Would it complain (in the second step, the first step succeeds), uninstall 
1_5_0 silently or upgrade both?
