There are no files shipped under /bin in Solaris - it's shipped as a
symlink to /usr/bin, which is why the "pkg verify" error warns you
that it's been turned from a symlink to a directory.

I can't decide which of the steps you chose seems most wrong to me,
since there are a bunch of mistakes here:

- Why aren't you using the Java 7 packages from the Solaris 11 IPS repos
  instead of downloading them separately from java.com?

- Why are you using the outdated initial release of Java 7 instead of
  the most recent Java7 Update 11 bug fixes, with all the bug fixes,
  security fixes, and performance improvements since the initial release?

- Why are you unpacking the packages to be installed in /opt?  That's
  where you'd want software to end up after the install, not a place to
  put temporary package downloads while unpacking them.
