Since Sun JDK is removed and I have had to install it manually, how can I tell Arch/pacman that I have Java runtime installed and stop pacman from dragging in OpenJDK when installing a java app?

Install Sun JDK with pacman - the package is in the AUR.

That I can do but I like my manually install... It makes it a lot easier to test different versions of JDK...

Then just create an empty package which is called jdk.
pkgname=jdk
pkgver=7
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="The Java Development Kit"
url=http://jdk7.java.net/
arch=(i686 x86_64)
license=(custom)
provides=('java-environment=7')
conflicts=('java-environment')
package(){
/bin/true
}
or http://codepad.org/I50Qx8fT
But remember, doing something like that, you are responsible if things break. Because e.g. if you forget about all this and ask people here for help, this might get very ... a big waste of time
