OK, thanks.

I'm a Fedora user: I think its possible to install it without OpenJDK, 
though I'll admit I haven't been trying very hard. Dependencies seem to 
pull at least the JRE in, though as one of my first customization actions 
is to change $PATH, putting the Sun/Orcl SDK earlier in the search path, 
the only disadvantages are the diskspace and periodic upgrade overheads.
