Hi

http://osnews.com/story.php/18558/Fedora-Includes-Sun-OpenJDKGNU-Classpath-Fusion-IcedTea

"Just in time for Fedora 8 test 2 IcedTea has landed in Fedora RawHide. 
The IcedTea project provides a harness to build the source code from the 
Sun OpenJDK project using Free Software build tools (gcj) and provides 
replacements for the non-free binary plugs with code from the GNU 
Classpath project. Installing this experimental GPL Java platfom is now 
as easy as yum install java-1.7.0-icedtea. In addition, Sun has promised 
to provide a Test Compatibility Kit soon so people can see how 
'officially Java' this package really is."
