IOW would a # rm java* be a bad thing to do or would it break too many other things possibly?

For example when I try to yum I get the below errors. 1) Can anyone help me clean off *all* of the java so I can start over? I have been through all of the instructions posted to me (thanks guys) but somehow it just doesn't work regardless - I still get the same dependency hell for java. 2) Does anyone know if there is a way to rebuild a hosed yum.conf or somehow fix it completely? Seperate issue I know, but there seems to be something wrong with it.
