Except that's not actually true on all platforms. However, after some discussion between various Java-knowledgeable folks I believe the final decision was that GCJ support should be encouraged but not mandated. Of course, if you don't include it you should probably anticipate one of the platform maintainers adding support to your package if it becomes an issue.

Some of these do not have properly functional openjdk support. - J< -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
