All the various jvm packages need to have more or less the same provides or you can't switch them at will. The problem with Sun packages is they never tried to work with anyone to make sure their stuff works (for example they added the xml-commons provides without putting the associated jar in a place our scripts can find it, so not installing a separate commons implementation will get you errors at tomcat startup) -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
