Thanks, I'll try that (rpm --nodeps). Yes, being able to skip the java-dependency in the installer (I used Install/Remove Software), would probably be good, with OpenJDK selected by default still. Now I got the option to choose java-version, so I guess a solution would be to be able to choose "1.5, 1.6, 1.7 or none".
