It turned out to be quite straightforward to find
the packages using 'rpm -ql <packagename>'.

The reason I could not find them was probably that
they were named differently -- 'gcj' instead of
'gjava'.

[The fact that I -- being an absolute beginner --
wasn't aware of the 'rpm -ql' command might have
had something to do with it aswell ;-)]

Thanks to James Oakley, mr. McKinney, Tara
Andrews, Jonathan Lin for their suggestions! I
hope to be able to return the favor sometime.
