I think the base of java binary packages from RHEL Supplementary CD are
nosrc.rpms from jpackage.org (packages have many common entries in
changelogs).

But RHEL java packages have additional bug fixes which are absent in
jpackage.org (information from changelogs).

Installing original Java packages from Sun or IBM is not recommended
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JavaFAQ), because they do not support
alternatives and installed to non-standard locations in file system.
