Sun is going to release java under the gpl2 license see: http://blogs.sun.com/dannycoward/entry/java_me,_se_and_ee how would this affect fedora? Will this be included and replace the gcj stuff? Can both be installed in parrallel? (using alternatives it should work like it does now) which would mean one of them have to go to extras...

I think it's more realistic to push OpenJDK through the Extras process in that time frame (assuming the Core/Extras distinction continues).
