RPM's can have a GnuPG signature that verifies that the package was
built by the person that is says it was, and that it has not been
modified sense signing. You have to have the person's public key in
order to check the signature. (Each repo includes the keys necessary
to check packages from the repo.) The message you are getting
indicates that the RPM you have was not signed. With the default
configuration, Yum will not install unsigned RPMs. If you are sure
you trust the packages, you can probably install them using:

rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i586/java-1.5.0-sun-*
