Hallo Robert,

thanks a lot for testing, I really appreciate that

Good point, alternatives has to be increased - I've used 17147. Commited
as a revision 9.

My fresh private rebuild using openjdk7 itself (IOW not applicable for
Factory) says

/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk/jre/bin/java -version
java version "1.7.0_b147-icedtea"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (suse-1-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 22.0-b10, mixed mode)

I suspect you have still the original package. Please take a loot at rpm
-q --changelog java-1_7_0-openjdk

But I've found the fileconflict between openjdk6 and openjdk7, which has
to be fixed as well.

$ rpm -ivh java-1_7_0-openjdk-1.7.0.0_147-1.x86_64.rpm
Preparing...                ###########################################
[100%]
        file /usr/share/applications/policytool.desktop from install of
        java-1_7_0-openjdk-1.7.0.0_147-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from
        package java-1_6_0-openjdk-1.6.0.0_b24.1.11.1-3.2.x86_64

but the point is, it has to be fixed in both packages :-(

Best regards
