Hi Andrew,
from openSUSE:Guiding principles [1]
We value...
* free software
so we prefer the most mature open source JVM as a default one
* an open development process
so if do not agree with this decision, let's discuss it in openSUSE community
rather that in bugzilla
* choice
we provide and maintain SUN Java packages for users wants to use Sun Java
Your problem with plugin in java-1_6_0-openjdk package comes from several
facts:
* it was not released under GPL
* it's not a part of Java SE, so no regression tests exists
* only few resources are allocated to work on it
On the other side, Java plugin is better in every release, there's prepared
update (bnc#623905) to openjdkb18/icedtea6-1.8.1 [3] with a lot of improvements
in the Java plugin.
