Sorry, I must miss something. What makes you think jpackage.org has a
"default java", which is version 1.4.2?

Again, as Sun's Java license does not allow repackaging, you can find
Sun's Java RE only in the non-free section of jpackage.org in form of a
src.rpm skeleton. So you need to fetch the .bin file from java.sun.com
and run rpmbuild to get installable Java RPMs. And yes, J2RE 1.5.0
Update 3 is provided there.
