Just went through the bcel package ... looks like it has a specific
requirement on java-gcj-compat. There is no way around that requirement
at your endpoint.

However, now that you have the compat package installed for Sun, you
can set alternatives to use that jvm. Install everything you need, let
it install OpenJDK and GCJ, and then as root, run:

alternatives --config java
alternatives --config javac

And select the Sun version in both cases, and your system will use that
for everything from there on.
