It's designed to _allow_ the use of alternative JREs from JPackage but I wouldn't say it _recommends_ it. As far as I'm concerned Fedora recommends using the Free Software runtime and development environment and working with us to fix any bugs or deficiencies you find. > ...there is a good chance unmodified JPackage applications will > not work with the default Runtime Environment shipped with Fedora. There is also a good chance that unmodified JPackage applications will work just fine. GCJ 4.1's lazy loading and the fast improving Swing implementation mean that it is rapidly becoming the case that the only applications that will not work are those that use undocumented and unsupported calls to Sun-specific classes.
