Some comments:

  * Can the JDKs be installed under /opt/csw/jdk to reduce the /opt/csw 
clutter. That also more similar to how it is installed under /usr

  * I like the way Sun does it with their "instances". If my package 
depend on Java 5 or 6 I would like to default the JDK path to 
/opt/csw/jdk/instance/jdk1.5.0.
