I for one would like to be able too:

equal to me. The environment should be able to handle jni
(specificly, it should be able to compile and run rxtx for serial port
access)
-use java applets from a webbrowser more specificly from mozilla.
Since this currently isn't possible I would like to be able to easily:
a) install SUN's official JDK and
b) gcj and
Switching between a and b using alternatives should be easy in FC3 if
you install java-1.4.2-gcj-compat (in FC3) and java-1.4.2-sun-compat
(from
jpackage.org).
c) sablevm and
-easily switch between a,b and c for compiling and running and
-be able to use jdk-plugin in mozilla and sablevm or jdk in konqueror.
I know a lott is happening and I would like to try things out, report
bugs and maybe even contribute. But how? where is the documentation. I
think we need a java on Fedora webpage like the stateless pages which
gives pointers to download some packages which are so beta that they are
not in rawhide and which contains a quickstart guide.

and

I've written a quick-start guide about using alternatives for jpackage'd
SDKs:
