This is mostly a bad idea because SUN has never managed to publish consistent
rpms that follow standards. So their stuff will change from one day to the
next without any clear rationale. They don't understand Linux, or rpm, or
dependency chains, and treat it all like a weird tar archive the market forces
them to use.
