Pull the SRPMs instead

Yup. And the XML file is the hard way; the SRPM directory is right next door.

However, OpenJDK is there:

http://oss.oracle.com/ol6/SRPMS/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.21.b17.el6.src.rpm

And GCC 4.4.4, which contains GCJ and GNU Classpath:

http://oss.oracle.com/ol6/SRPMS/gcc-4.4.4-13.el6.src.rpm

The GCJ Java 1.5.0 thing; probably just a junction package to Require the right
GCJ packages and set up some symlinks:

http://oss.oracle.com/ol6/SRPMS/java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-29.1.el6.src.rpm

The GCC 4.4.4 SRPM contains an additional README, added either by Red Hat or
Oracle, which says:

"gcjwebplugin is a Firefox plugin for running Java applets. It is now
included in the libgcj sub-package, though it is not enabled by default.

"GNU Classpath and libgcj's security implementation is under active
development, but it is not ready to be declared secure. Specifically, it cannot
run untrusted applets safely."

...and so on. That sound like it might have some Java APIs hanging around in
it?

("rpm2cpio gcc-4.4.4-13.el6.src.rpm | cpio -i
README.libgcjwebplugin.so" will pull out just that readme file from the
SRPM.)

However, the gcc-4.4.4 .tar file inside the SRPM does not pass signature
verification from the GNU FTP site's .sig file; the filename isn't a GNU
filename, either. It looks like it might be a work-in-progress snapshot, not
the official FSF code. (Red Hat can be bleeding edge, just not the same one
everyone else is using....)

On the other hand, it does seem to contain a reasonably complete libjava;
java/lang looks reasonably complete to my admittedly Java-unfriendly eye.
