Currently, the plan for openSUSE 11.1 is to only ship with openJDK and no Sun Java at all.
AJ, Michl, can you please confirm this?
That was the plan so far - the expectation beeing that openJDK is a full replacement under an Open Source license,
The latest available version of icedtea* still has several issues [1]. 2 Michael Loeffer
There might be a legal issues (licence changes). I'll recheck with our legal folks about that and let you know what's the case with Sun Java 1.5.
The distributed JVM 1.5 is based on binary release releases [1] under DJL [2]. There was a problem with some parts of java-1_6_0-sun-src, but this is going to be fixed. * JFI: icedtea brings a opensource support for build of openjdk. And also try to reimplement some parts of Sun JVM, which was not opened (the biggest example is the Java browser plugin). The java plugin distributed with openjdk comes from gcj.
