alternative to jpackage for java alternatives on rhel/centos

I find this much easier :->

cd /usr/java/default/bin
slaves=""
for bin in $(ls)
do
if [ $bin != "java" ];
then
slaves="$slaves --slave /usr/bin/$bin $bin /usr/java/default/bin/$bin"
fi
done
sudo alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/default/bin/java 2 $slaves
sudo alternatives --set java /usr/java/default/bin/java

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_29"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02, mixed mode)

I have always found the jpackage rpms and various dependencies just annoying...
