I strongly recommend avoiding Sun's packaging of Java and instead
following Paul Howarth's instructions for installing Sun's Java in a
manner consistent with JPackage conventions.

You'll end up with a more consistent Java environment following
JPackage conventions.
Even Sun is adopting JPackage conventions as they move towards
open-sourcing their JDK:
"Several jpackage.org conventions, such as directory and Java plugin library
naming have been chosento align with the jpackage project (JPP)."
