f11: use alternatives to switch between openjdk and sun's java

Much as I enjoy having openjdk available, some things just don't work with it. So for those things, I need to use the sun version of java.

I currently have openjdk installed from F11 yum. I'd like to install the sun java rpm and be able to tell the alternatives(8) system to switch between the two as I need to.

Anyone have a pointer to info how to configure alternatives(8) to do that?
