FC5 - quick yum fix for java plugin?

Well now it appears that the java installation has hosed additional things
on my box.  For example when I try to yum I get the below errors.

1) Can anyone help me clean off *all* of the java so I can start over?  I
have been through all of the instructions posted to me (thanks guys) but
somehow it just doesn't work regardless - I still get the same dependency
hell for java.

2)   Does anyone know if there is a way to rebuild a hosed yum.conf or
somehow fix it completely?  Seperate issue I know, but there seems to be
something wrong with it.

Thanks
Marc
