Umm, do test it for different packages. The only
advantage of sun-java5-sdk, I think is that it is
almost a complete set (you wouldn't miss out stuff).
The packages are listed accordingly and distinct
enough.

Right.

The list of packages that you include could be generic
or specific to the requirements of the course syllabus
of CS (say, for Mumbai and Pune University)

Compilers - GCC (C, C++, Java, Fotran, Ada)
Toolkits - GTK2+, Qt4
Additional- Clisp, a SVNclient, Python,
Graphic / Imaging tools - Krita, GIMP
Databases - PostgreSQL, MySQL
WebServer - Apache webserver, Tomcat, PHP
Editors - Kate, GNU Emacs, gEdit, gVim
Documentation - Free Books (GPLed), API docs
IDEs - Eclipse, Anjuta
Web Development tools - Quanta, Bluefish, NVU
Browsers - Firefox, Opera, Konqueror, Amaya (W3c's)

This list is not exhaustive. I think, the list just
makes up my assumptions of most liked. The first one
in each category is what I use.
