Yeah, the article probably should've just said commercial distributions, and left "enterprise" out. I'm running SuSE 9.0 installed from FTP, and no IBM or Sun JVM here that I can see (and I snarfed the entire free 9.0 mirror). One of the first things I did post-install was download and install one. Would I be right in assuming that you bought a boxed set?

Commercial SuSE?

Retail boxed SuSE versions have been indeed been shipping with both Sun and IBM Java JREs/SDKs.  The FTP version could be missing the packages for a number of reasons, size being one non-license possiblity that springs to mind.
