My question on this in developers' and users' 

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fedora-devel-list&m=110895336513499&w=2

didn't seem to be greeted with any enthusiasm, so I'll repeat it here,
now that I know there is a here.

FC2, no java rpm installed, and I don't recall installing all the
compilers when I installed FC2 on a wiped disk.

But I do have rmic and jar (and rmic34/jar34) in /usr/bin. These are not
symbolic links, and there is no reference to them in the setup files for
alternatives. 

From searching the archives, I see that the consensus is that they are
safe to remove. 

What else should I look for? 

And should I file this as a bug if I get a chance to confirm that they
are there without installing any java rpm?

(They really do get in the way.)
