If you ask me, java could be dropped completely incl. dependencies.
First of all, for the same reasons as perl was killed. Besides that, it
has nothing to do directly with Xfce and IMHO, it's a big security risk
to have java enabled by default, in particular in the browser. And it's
easy for the user to install JRE/JDK if needed, there could be just a
nice desktop script (yum install).

Hi Kevin,
why did the sensors plugin need perl? Maybe the reason is already
explained in an old mail here on the list or another one - I do not
remember, sorry.
The sensors plugin should IMHO be included in the live image, it's one
of the best plugins available for Xfce to do the show case.
Greetings,

perl on xfce live
by Kevin Fenzi
Greetings.
In the past we have had perl on the Xfce live media due to a dep in exo
(it has a helper script that is written in perl).
Seth has kindly re-written this script in python:
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9964
So, that removes the perl dep from exo.
However, there are still some more. Here's a f19 nightly with the new exo:

Transaction Summary
================================================================================
Remove 1 Package (+27 Dependent packages)
Installed size: 131 M
So, it saves us 131MB, at the cost of xfce4-sensors-plugin, icedtea-web, foomatic and openvpn.
So, we could just do this now.
Or we could try and get the perl dep fixed up in those above that we care about.
Or we could just not bother. ;)
Thoughts?
