Jan: I have to strongly disagree. That install makes it impossible to stay current for those of us who work on the cutting edge of Java and Netbeans. I don't care whether SUSE changes or Sun/OpenJDK changes but I wish they would get their act together for the benefit of we developers. When there is an update to Java I don't want to wait 3 months for SUSE/Novell to get around to updating some repositroy. I want it now. Additionally, I live on the daily development builds of Netbeans so I wouldn't even be able to THINK about using a SUSE repository for updates of my IDE.

SUSE always has screwed up the Java implementation.
I strongly disagree. I just did rpm -Uhv java-1_6_0... today, and that worked out. It simply installs it to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0... and updates /etc/alternatives/java. *Nothing* special.
Do you know the reason why SUSE/Novell can't install Java where it belongs? When I get it from the source it installs to /usr/java/jdkxxxxx.
That is not where it belongs IMHHO. /usr/java is not FHS-compliant *at all*. Either /usr/lib/program or better yet, /opt/program. SunRay SS and Mozilla are both in /opt or distributed over /usr/lib, too.
