comment form jpackage-packagers:
# We keep original 1.4 provider since java 1.4 wants it to be signed
# This sucks big time - should we add jar signing infrastructure to
# jpackage into rpm signing? Sun seems much less user-friendly than
# your average Linux distribution

so everybody is providing only binaries :)

has to do with security options in java, some versions need signed "providers" 
otherwise they won't work and throw security exceptions.

ok, if you like you can send me your actual patchset for azureus, I can keep 
them in our subversion repository and if we are able to use other repos 
and/or the upcoming SuSE versions provide more java-packages in regular repos 
I see a chance to switch to building azureus from source.
