No. JPackage/Fedora guidelines require all Java implementations to provide 'java-devel = version-of-java-implementation'. In practice, that means that all Java packages should require java-devel. The problem is the bytecode level. The Java compiler by default produces bytecode that is only compatible with itself or a higher version of Java. Older Java implementations error out when they see it. This is kind of opposite of what we want as a distribution, where all java bytecode should correspond with the lowest version of Java implementation that we ship. Anyway, this whole point should become moot. java-1.7.0-openjdk will be deprecated and removed from the distribution before Change Freeze. Only java-1.8.0-openjdk will be left.
