Generally speaking, everything related to Java should work in Fedora. If you run
into any problems, please file a bug so we know about the issue.

Looks like you ran into
http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=491. This problem has been
fixed upstream. It should be included in fedora with the next update of
java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin.
