There is a unsatisfied dependency list on daily rawhide reports. Java 
packages are being rebuild and require some development work to be 
compatible with the new compiler in the Fedora development tree at 
present. Fedora Java developers are working on those. Jesse Keating 
already send a mail to this list explaining that, besides this is the 
development tree and test releases. So expect some churn and breakages 
now and then. Bugs reports can be filed where appropriate.
