The JRE's in oracle site for Solaris comes in 'sh' format (java_1.6.xx.sh).
Is there an option to convert it from 'sh' to 'pkg', and then install it from this pkg on solaris using 'pkgadd'?

There is no conversion of an arbitrary self-extracting installer into a pkg-file. However, once installed, you can create a package out of the resulting directory structure and the files contained in it. You will also have the opportunity to add pre-install checks and post-install steps. Here is a link that could be of help: http://www.garex.net/sun/packaging/create_pkg.html

Hope this helps.
