not exactly what i meant, sunjdk doesn't split the official package, in the same way kde in [extra] doesn't. if it's up to me jre and jdk wouldn't exist, but to those who only need java support for their browser, they couldn't care less about jdk, so it's better for those to have a smaller package to download and install, thus the kde-mod analogy. if you compared my package to jre in [community], you'll notice that i haven't added any extra sources, i just decided to install the rest of the package. cheers.
