There are many reasons for using Sun java. I don't know why Marcel
needed Sun java,
but in my case it would be missing APIs and speed. Other reasons could
be that jpackage
use a directory structure that is nonstandard from a Java perspective,
this could potentially break certain applications or at least their
installers.
So to install java, I simply download the binary self extracting
package from Sun
unpack it in /opt and set JAVA_HOME and update the PATH variable by
creating a java.sh
in /etc/profile.d
