I've had a look, and clirr just isn't going to happen for Fedora.  First, it's
a dead project.  Second, it only builds with maven1, NOT maven2.  But it's not
needed for building the manual, anyway, is it?  I think we can just patch the
clirr-related parts out of build.xml.

Last I heard, OpenJDK on PPC/PPC64 is 1 or 2 orders of magnitude slower than
gcj-generated code.  GCJ support is not a MUST item, so I won't block the
review on this point.  Personally, I'd be happy to see gcj-compiled code go
away and all Java packages become noarch.  For that to happen, though, the
speed problems with OpenJDK need to be fixed.  I don't know who is working on
that or what the status is.

So, going over the list again, java-devel still isn't a BR, but it's pulled in
by ant, so I guess that's okay.  Everything else is fixed, so this package is
APPROVED.
