Hi, Actually, this is the way it has always been, at least since 2006. Both in openjdk-7 and, as a subset, in openjdk-6. That's why those classes have an init method to dynamically load those libraries and locate the respective functions. It has never been a problem that there were no gnome dependencies in the previous versions of openjdk. Somehow, with the change to the stable openjdk-7, some over-achievers wanted a dependency on any library that is mentioned in the source, especially the deprecated ones. That it comes from ubuntu is no excuse. Why should hard depencies to gnome2 appear in just the moment that ubuntu changes to gnome3?
