My web browsers are using java from Sun/Oracle jdk and the
Scientific Linux java-1.6.0-sun-compat.

Now that TUV provides java-1.6.0-openjdk, is java-1.6.0-sun-compat
still being maintained or should we switch to openjdk ?

I ask because for some time now the Firefox Plugin Check
   https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
has been reporting that Java TM Plug-in 1.6.0_22 is an "outdated version"
- I now that it isn't a security update, but users may not distinguish.

Thanks,
