It's my understanding that 11.1 is planned to ship with openjdk 1.6 installed 
by default and with (only) Sun Java 1.6 available via non-oss repo. I'd like 
to discuss this, as it causes some major problems - at least for Danish users.

1) With Danske Bank - the largest Danish bank, home banking only works 
properly with Sun Java 1.5. With Sun Java 1.6 some core functionality doesn't 
work and with openjdk 1.6 you can't even login at all.

2) Another home bank system, common to many smaller Danish banks, won't work 
with Sun Java 1.6 on x86_64 systems (even with 32-bit firefox+32-bit java, 
even though it does work on full 32-bit systems with Sun Java 1.6).

In summary, 11.1 will be unusable for Danske Bank customers and most x86_64 
users without Sun Java 1.5 available - making it very difficult to recommend 
to anyone.

I'm certain these problems of critical java applets, that only work (properly) 
with Sun Java 1.5, exist for very many users in very many countries.

I suggest to include Sun Java 1.5 in the non-oss repo for 11.1. And to make 
this repo available for testing before release.

I also encourage anyone who's dependant on Java applets to test this stuff 
ASAP. When 11.1 is released, it's too late to do anything about it...
