That's interesting... Well, no, it's strange. Does openjdk still have the sun name in the right place? And I thought RH had made their version of eclipse work with gjc before deciding to put Sun java in their update stream and later going with openjdk.
No idea, but here's the tale: http://it.slashdot.org/story/10/07/28/2121259/Oracles-Java-Company-Change-Breaks-Eclipse
A couple of notes: (a) it only affected windows - has to do with needing to know platform-specific options when starting the initial jvm, and (b) an update backed out the change in a couple of days. So overall, I'd say worse things have happened - and in things like gcc.
