Thank you very much for your hints, this instantly solved my problem.
Here is the full instruction for other newbies:

   1. download the ppc jre from IBM in RPM format. You need an IBM ID
      for that;
   2. install libstdc++33, remove old openJDK JRE (and its "plugin");
   3. double-click to install the RPM package you downloaded. Note that
      unlike most other applications, when installation successfully
      finish, the installer will close itself WITHOUT saying
      'installation is successful', so if you see it suddenly closed it
      is not crashed.
   4. for every Java application you wish to run, change its properties
      of desktop icon. e.g.
      was: /usr/local/bin/jedit
      change to: /usr/bin/env JAVA_HOME=/opt/ibm/java-ppc-60/jre
      /usr/local/bin/jedit
