You need to ask the person who created the package.

You do not need both. I recommend that you remove the 1.4.2 jre.
Get the versions of jre installed on your system by typing:
# rpm -qa | grep jre
Remove the one you do not want by typing:
# rpm -e <name of rpm-package from above>
Tip: Use your mouse to highlight the name of the package, right-click,
select copy, right-click, and select paste to insert the data in the
line above.
