Hi all,

I propose a drop of java-1_5_0-sun from openSUSE Factory/11.2. The EOSL
date [1] of 1.5.0 ends on October 30 this year. That means Sun will stop
release a public available updates of it (there's some extended support
period, but just for those who has a contract with Sun). So we will be
able support it just a few months after 11.2 release (and only if Sun
will release an update of it) and then Sun will stop deliver public
available updates for it.

If there's any user who wants/needs it in openSUSE please let me know. I
think that we can estabilish something like Java:sun5 OBS project and
keep this package here. But I'll not maintain it.

Please drop it. :)
