It takes a little work, but it can be done. For a 100% "real" Java
environment, you'll first want to remove all the gcj-compiled packages
from your system.
What for? They will still work.
Install whatever runtime environment you want via an RPM from
jpackage.org and use /usr/sbin/alternatives to switch to it.
