I agree it is a hack, but I never understood the whole
/etc/alternatives thing, it really seemed evil to me as well :) This
way, I had netbeans, and all my apps using the new java, without all
the hassle

I have had java-6 working on many distros 64-bit and 32-bit, usually, its as simply as making the .bin file executable and then running the .bin.
But that's just a hack if your distro uses /etc/alternatives (which I personally consider unspeakably evil, BTW). A SUSE-fied package that generates the required forest of symlinks will make it much easier to switch back and forth between Java 5 and Java 6 during testing.
