I find this design decision very odd, exactly for the reasons you
mentioned. Java 7 is, to my knowledge, far from universally supported. I
would have waited for at least another release or two before phasing out
Java 6.

Hi there,
I was surprized that F17 uses OpenJDK7 by default but does not includes
OpenJDK6 packages also, like F16 did.
If I have some app which cannot run on Java 7, what should I do? I know I
can download the proprietary JDK6 from Oracle, but I'd rather use OpenJDK.
I tried installing OpenJDK6 packages from F16 but yum complains they are
obsoleted by OpenJDK7. I also tried downloading IcedTea6 sources and
compiling, but they stop with an "internal compiler error".
Any hints?
