My question on this in developers' and users'

didn't seem to be greeted with any enthusiasm, so I'll repeat it here, now that I know there is a here.
FC2, no java rpm installed, and I don't recall installing all the compilers when I installed FC2 on a wiped disk.
But I do have rmic and jar (and rmic34/jar34) in /usr/bin. These are not symbolic links, and there is no reference to them in the setup files for alternatives.
From searching the archives, I see that the consensus is that they are safe to remove.
What else should I look for?
And should I file this as a bug if I get a chance to confirm that they are there without installing any java rpm?
(They really do get in the way.)

I suppose they belong to libgcj. You can check with:
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/rmic
and remove the package that is listed. If nothing is listed, the files were likely created during %post -- check with:
$ rpm -qa --scripts | grep /usr/bin/rmic
(They really do get in the way.)
Since you're about to install Sun's JDK, I would suggest using the jpackage.org repository. You can find some instructions here:
http://mpeters.us/linux/j2sdk.php
The alternatives system may then be used to point these files to the correct binaries.
Thanks, Ziga. Now I think I know where to dig in.

Yeah, this is fixed in upstream gcc bugzilla by renaming them grmic, grmiregistry and fastjar. They are "safe" to remove provided you are using some alternate rmic, rmiregistry and jar implementations. You should really prepend non-standard path entries to PATH though -- that is the workaround.

That's good to know, and good to be able to report to my co-workers.

... as in the Sun-standard distribution. (And someone on Sun's jmx list tells me that rmic is now built into the standard javac compiler and the proxies are generated at runtime, or something. That's goint to take a little digesting.)

I've already done that, but it always bothers me to have things in the path in advance of /bin and /usr/bin. Call me paranoid.
Thanks.
