    Well I looked for jpackage-util and got this:

[root at k5di ~]# yum install jpackage-util
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package jpackage-util available.
Nothing to do
[root at k5di ~]#

    Then went to the web page and it has a special file for getting to 
the jpackage.repo which I balk at because new repo's are not good as a 
rule. Since I did set up my java in a manual way I'm not sure I want to 
mess up what works :-)
