How to install OpenJDK6 on F17

Hi there,

I was surprized that F17 uses OpenJDK7 by default but does not includes OpenJDK6 packages also, like F16 did.

If I have some app which cannot run on Java 7, what should I do? I know I can download the proprietary JDK6 from Oracle, but I'd rather use OpenJDK.

I tried installing OpenJDK6 packages from F16 but yum complains they are obsoleted by OpenJDK7. I also tried downloading IcedTea6 sources and compiling, but they stop with an "internal compiler error".

Any hints?

[]s, Fernando Lozano
