OK, I'll give the JPackage stuff another look.

My previous foray into jpackage was a mess of hand-building from 
src.rpms and other craziness just to get around things that were already 
provided easily from sun or otherwise, and I must admit, I was very 
turned off by the amount of manual work it took to install something 
when the whole point is to automate installation.  =)

If the tools have gotten better, great, I'll give it another shot.

Yeah, if everything conforms to the java/java-devel stuff, then it 
should work.

Thanks for the response, I'll do more investigation.
