Well, unfortunately there's quite a few more to worry about- everything in 
the Solaris 2.6 /usr/java/bin will be picked up in the current default
path before the corresponding one in the java locker:

/usr/java/bin athena% ls -F
appletviewer*  javac*         javald*        native2ascii*  sparc@
jar*           javadoc*       javap*         rmic*
java*          javah*         jdb*           rmiregistry*
java_g*        javakey*       jre*           serialver*

(there are more in the Java locker too but presumably those won't be a 
problem).

As far as I know all may need to be accessed by end-users.

                                            A.
