I am fully aware of that.

My strategy is to use the custom build on the desktop but to keep developing
and testing using the provided OpenJDK, and use it for server deployment.

Concretely:
- Build the Open JDK using IcedTea (./configure --with-openjdk
--with-parallel-jobs=4 --enable-npplugin)
- Deploy it under /opt
- Use it only:
  - to start Eclipse (thus working around the above bug)
  - as a Firefox plugin (also lacking in RH provided JDK): ln -s
/opt/openjdk-1.6.0-b16/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaNPPlugin.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/IcedTeaNPPlugin.so 
- use the RH provided OpenJDK as a registered JRE in Eclipse (for compilation
and testing)
- use the RH provided OpenJDK on server deployment

As for Red Hat being written RedHat, I guess that I make too much Java and tend
to see the world as a set of classes... 

class RedHat extends UsFirm implements LinuxVendor, ServiceProvider,
KernelContributor {} ;)
