As far as I can see, IcedTea/OpenJDK is not yet ready for general use (though there is an IcedTea Fedora-7 RPM). So it seems the choice is between Fedora's Java Development packages and Sun's standard Java, which I assume Fedora dislikes for licence reasons. I think I'll go with Sun's Java, and move over to OpenJDK with Fedora-8. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
