Re: [fedora-java] FC2, /usr/bin/rmic when no java rpm -- why?

But I do have rmic and jar (and rmic34/jar34) in /usr/bin. These are not
symbolic links, and there is no reference to them in the setup files for
alternatives.
From searching the archives, I see that the consensus is that they are
safe to remove.
What else should I look for?
And should I file this as a bug if I get a chance to confirm that they
are there without installing any java rpm?
I suppose they belong to libgcj. You can check with:
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/rmic
and remove the package that is listed. If nothing is listed, the files
were likely created during %post -- check with:
$ rpm -qa --scripts | grep /usr/bin/rmic
(They really do get in the way.)
Since you're about to install Sun's JDK, I would suggest using the
jpackage.org repository. You can find some instructions here:

The alternatives system may then be used to point these files to the
correct binaries.
