Re: Re: JDK 7 status and IcedTea

Hi there,

Thanks for the quick replies.

And about OpenJDK6 packates included on Fedora, I guess they are also built using IcedTea. But are they certified?

And I guess correctly openjdk6/7 packages in Ubuntu and Debian are also built from IcedTea? Certification is the same for them or each linux distro has to make their own certification?

The latter: only binaries can be certified.  They build from source,
so they have to do it themselves.  I don't know if they do.
