If that's the case, openoffice.org-core shouldn't specifically require
libgcj, which it currently does.

It should require something more general, such as:

   Requires:  java >= 1.4.2

which is provided by java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.

And it should conflict with non-Sun JVMs:

   Conflicts:  java-kaffe, java-ibm, java-bea, java-blackdown

(java-1.5.0-sun provides java-sun; I'm assuming that the other JVM RPMs
on JPackage have similar provides.)

Let me know if this is correct.  If it is, I'll bugzilla it.
