Several reasons: * Packaging guidelines clearly state BR/R: java * Maven packages have automatically generated requires on java (or java-devel) To *really* make use of java-headless few things need to happen: * guidelines have to be updated * java-packages have to be changed to R: java-headless by default * Maven packages are rebuilt * packages not built with maven are migrated manually * leaf applications make sure they have R: java > Btw - the update above is now somehow stuck - it not in testing, nor in updates.

If you need to get in touch with rel-engs file a ticket[1], don't CC their ML or it's going to get lost [1] https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotnicky@xxxxxxxxxx> Software Engineer - Developer Experience PGP: 7B087241 Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com
