Contrariwise... solaris DOES SHIP with a java runtime!
So our "java package", could merely be some kind of user-updatable symlink
for /opt/csw/java, to point to /usr/java, for example.
Ideally, with some comments and hints in our readme about where to get the 
latest updates, etc, etc.

there's a few varients on this. for example we could have
/opt/csw/bin/{jre,java} as symlinks or wrappers to somewhere....
etc, etc.
