Both guides look really good. I tried the
java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.06-1jpp.nosrc.rpm as well and it works good.
However I didn't like this kind of packaging, because it puts java files
in different locations than jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.rpm does.
This is true, and on
purpose; part of the reason for JPackage's
nosrc.rpm is for more standard organization of files or something like that.
