Even a small java package is likely to require parts of the java
standard libs, so requiring javac without the java libs is useless.

Java packages typically BR java-devel. Java-devel is a virtual provides
any package that installs a jvm tree (with standard binaries and libs)
on the system can declare

Mid-term a jvm implementation based on the code Sun liberated is likely
to hit the repo.
