Abstract
The inclusion of OpenJDK 6 into the core of Fedora, Debian,
OpenSuse and Ubuntu has enabled millions of GNU/Linux users to easily
obtain the latest version of the Java SE platform. This has changed the
packaging landscape for Java software, since ISVs and distro builders
can now rely on the Java platform being available out of the box.
Planned enhancements to the Java programming language aim to further
simplify packaging by making Java software more modular and more
explicit about its dependencies.
