Originally we intended it to be "Fedora JBoss" instead of "Fedora
Java", but we thought that the name might be a little limiting: most
of the stuff there is useful for Java development, and some people
might be put off by the thought of it being very JBoss specific. I
think JDK development is probably fine, I'll point Dan to this
conversation to see if he has any other suggestions.
