We dug into this as the request of the java-1.6.0-openjdk folks, who
are getting a broken dep report about it. :) 

- The plugin was shipped in beta2, but they decided they didn't want to
  support it in 6.0, so it was supposed to be removed. 

- They added obsoletes, but not provides to the main java-1.6.0-openjdk
  package. 

- They failed to remove the old plugin package from rhn channels with
  6.0. It's in the optional channel. ;( 

So, nothing epel can do here. They either need to fix the
java-1.6.0-openjdk package or (better imho), just stop shipping the old
plugin that could never be installed or work. ;)
