I hate that too - but that seems to be the 'correct' layout acording to
RedHat and fhs.
I allways preferred /opt/ hierarchy, with packages self-contained.
However that's how major linux distributions work, and I don't
think we should invent our own rules - even if the standard
sucks.

I think the reason is that jikes is preffered because it's 'open source'
and redistributable. Javac can't be redistributed by an open source
project, only jre.
They do a similar thing with tomcat - mostly to get around the scatered
files and integrate with the other packages.
