Thanks very much.
I had forgotten that.
But wouldn't it be simpler for this to appear among the openjdk packages?
I never understood the package name though. Why does it have to be
called icedtea-web and not openjdk-icedtea-web or something along those
lines. I have been on this list for a while now, and this question
comes up time and again across releases. Often from even users familiar
with fedora for many years.
