Do you mean xml-commons or xml-commons-apis?
xml-commons-apis
This sounds like a bug in the sun-compat package. If Sun claims to
provide
xml-commons but doesn't actually do so,
problem is sun jvm provides an implementation of xml-commons-apis but
- it's not exposed by a symlink (could be fixed in the compat-package)
- it's an internal implementation so either you require the external
xml-commons-api inconditionnaly, and people using Sun JVM have a package
installed on-system they don't really need, or you don't, and if you
install another jvm in parallel rpm will think xml-commons-apis is already
available, except only the sun jvm can use it
