Not yet. As I said FC4 test 3 was just released yesterday and they beat every other distribution in this particular area. But similar things are planned for future Debian and Ubuntu releases: http://java.debian.net/index.php/DebianJavaRoadMap http://java.debian.net/index.php/MovingJavaToMain (They are monitoring the Gump results with Kaffe with great interest.) http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/JavaIntegration http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/JavaPackagingProgress Karl (CCed) can probably give you a similar plan for Gentoo. The consesus seems to be to follow the http://www.jpackage.org/ project as much as possible. Even though at the moment they are very RPM based. That is probably one of the reasons Gentoo and Debian are a bit behind. They cannot just lift the packages from jpackage, but need to do some more work to adapt them cleanly to their distribution. Cheers, Mark
