Thanks for this pointer.
As far as I can see, IcedTea/OpenJDK
is not yet ready for general use
(though there is an IcedTea Fedora-7 RPM).

So it seems the choice is between Fedora's Java Development packages
and Sun's standard Java, which I assume Fedora dislikes for licence reasons.

I think I'll go with Sun's Java, and move over to OpenJDK with Fedora-8.
