I've got a request from Frank to add CentOS, Mandriva and openSUSE 11.4 into Java:packages. I personally do not like this idea - J:p is intended to be a devel project for Factory. On the other hand, there might be someone will be interested and will take a care. And I don't want to block our community from that. So I am thinking about following concept
1.) create new Java:Factory project -> this will be the devel project for Factory, so only openSUSE_Factory repository will be added
2.) make project link [1] from Java:Factory - Java:???. In this project more targets can be enabled and it can have more maintainers taking a care about such distributions.
3.) the changes in Java:??? will be submitted back to :Factory. If not, then :??? project won't be synced with :Factory. This is a responsibility of those will do the change.
I'm waiting on a comments, especially some nice name instead of ???, which is probably not allowed in OBS ;-)

We already use devel:languages:____ for many other programming languages. Is there a reason using this would not work for Java as well?
Hallo, Java got own namespace from early beggining! Maybe others languages/people loathes Java too much, they moved it into separate namespace ;-) Aren't you propose the idea of having devel:languages:java:openjdk:Factory or devel:languages:java:factory, are you? ;-) I am very happy with this particular inconsistency in a BS.
