You've found the reason that the console isn't provided on F-7. There 
isn't a free JDK that can build it currently available for F-7. You'd 
have to start by backporting IcedTea from F-8 to F-7.

Or you can install a proprietary JDK and build it that way. I don't 
think console will run with gcj either still so you'd need the JRE/JDK 
installed to run console as well.
