Yeah, for some reason I was confusing/substituting openJDK with IcedTea. I guess because in previous Fedora versions I recall having to install sun Java for web applets because IcedTea/openJDK didn't work for everything (Juniper VPN for one). Like I mentioned I have it compiled now but their rpm includes many files that are not in their source (binaries, man pages, etc) and the rpmlint isn't clean on their provided RPM so I'll see what I can do.
