You can install multiple JVM's, and do the appropriate environment magic, but 
there's no way I'd like to explain that either to end-user's.  Just think 
about all the bleating about failed dependancies, when folk try to install 
rpm's they download, nevermind forcing them to install a particular JVM and 
whatever else needed by the class libraries.
