Hello,

the fact that the old Oracle Java is now proprietary and ties our hands
in being able to use it.
I sometimes have to use different IP consoles, all of them are available
through Java applets. They work with Sun java, but none of them work
with OpenJDK. So replacing OpenJDK with Sun Java is one of the first
steps after installation. If bundling Sun/Oracle binaries is not
possible any more, some scripts or a dummy rpm (to avoid dependency
problems) would be still very welcome to do the magic of update
alternatives and keep Sun Java easy to use. Even if the actual binaries
need to be downloaded by hand...
Bye,
CzP
