      When JBoss is installed without specifying a JDK package, yum chooses to install java-1.5.0-bea and java-1.5.0-bea-devel. For example:
      yum install jbossas

      Then if you immediately do a "yum update", JRockit is removed and replaced by the java-1.5.0-sun and java-1.5.0-sun because JRockit was removed from RHEL 5.3.

      So JRockit is installed by default, but then immediately removed and replaced by the Sun JDK on the next update.

      This should be changed so if a JDK is not specified it defaults to the following (in this order):
      1) OpenJDK (from base OS channel)
      2) Sun JDK (from RHEL Supplementary channel)
