OpenJDK 1.6 was packaged for Fedora12 PPC; we used it initially for one of our applications but eventually ran into performance problems since IIR there wasn't really  a JIT on PPC.  We switched to the IBM JDK, which we repackaged locally based on a specfile adapted from (I think) something at JPackage.org.

I dropped the specfile in a gist at https://gist.github.com/063fbd8733ea15e149dc.git, in case you might find it useful.
