What exactly is your problem with Java and SuSE?
Lack of a suse-java mailing list, Lack of an official 'how to develop j2ee applications the Novell/SuSE way' page,
There is very, very little about Java programming that is different on different OS platforms. That's a very specific design goal of the language inventors, and they've done quite a good job at realizing it. There's no real need for a SuSE-specific Java forum. I can't even think of what "the Novell/SuSE way" might be, especially when it comes to J2EE. You could make the case that Java under Linux in general (especially if you're doing GUI programming) might have some specific issues, but that's about it.
lack (perhaps) of mechanisms for updating /etc/alternatives, the fact that http://www.jpackage.org/ latest packages are for SuSE 9.0
Stick with more authoritatives sources, Sun, IBM (in the case of Jikes) or Novell/SuSE.
