Hi -
Thanks for pointing that out. We recently decided to switch (or at
least try switching) from Sun JDK to OpenJDK (which is an open source
release of most of the Sun JAVA JDK components). We're currently testing
that transition to make sure the cluster auto update code handles it
correctly.
We'll be sure to include OpenJDK's plugin (icedtea6-plugin) when we make
this change live - hopefully you'll see the package installed within the
next 24 hours or so.
- Evan
