A large part of the problem is that we will not have access to all the
security vulnerability
Hi there,
I was surprized that F17 uses OpenJDK7 by default but does not includes
OpenJDK6 packages also, like F16 did.
If I have some app which cannot run on Java 7, what should I do? I know
I can download the proprietary JDK6 from Oracle, but I'd rather use OpenJDK.
I tried installing

I find this design decision very odd, exactly for the reasons you
mentioned. Java 7 is, to my knowledge, far from universally supported. I
would have waited for at least another release or two before phasing out
Java 6.

We did think about it, but OpenJDK 6 is going to be EOL'd this

Hi Andrew,
I tried installing OpenJDK6 packages from F16 but yum complains they are
obsoleted by OpenJDK7. I also tried downloading IcedTea6 sources and
compiling, but they stop with an internal compiler error.
That should work. I'd like to know more. It indicates a pretty major
gcc bug.
Hi Deepak,
java-1.6.0-openjdk and java-1.7.0-openjdk can co-exist side by side
happily -- you can even use alternatives to switch the default if you
really want to.
We just cannot ship 6 in F17 because it will EOL well before F17 does
and we cannot ship a known insecure version.
Thanks for

Hi Deepak,
First, thaks a lot for you patience explaining things you and other
OpenJDK developers should already have discussed to exaustion.
OpenJDK6 will no longer get security updates after November 2012:
