Well, it is, but I suppose not directly:

[root at cynosure ~]# du -sh /usr/share/javadoc/java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0
235M    /usr/share/javadoc/java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0
[root at cynosure ~]# rpm -e java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-javadoc
error: Failed dependencies:
         java-javadoc is needed by (installed) 
eclipse-platform-3.1.2-1jpp_13fc.i386
[root at cynosure ~]# rpm -e eclipse-platform
error: Failed dependencies:
         eclipse-platform is needed by (installed) 
eclipse-cdt-3.0.2-1jpp_2fc.i386

         eclipse-platform < 1:3.1.3 is needed by (installed) 
eclipse-cdt-3.0.2-1jpp_2fc.i386


If I'm only going to be programming with eclipse in C/C++/Fortran using 
the CDT, I don't want a *LOT* (235MB!) of Java API documentation as well.
