I have forward your documentation request to the Red Hat Java folks.
P.S.: I don't know how they will handle that as the Open Source Java is actually
GNU gcj and associated libraries. To install a package that replaces
something native in a system one should add the path ahead of the others. And
they will not have any way of changing Sun's documentation. All this would be
solved if Sun would distribute RPMs or at least let us do so. But people have
to get their SDK directly from their site :-(
