+After spending some hours browsing through mandriva media (inluding contrib and plf) and spec files, I found out that :
+
+1) Only 4 packages depend on gcj :
+ - csound-java : a sound and music synthesis system
+ - javasvn : a Pure Java Subversion Client Library (now SVNKit)
+ - opengrok : a fast and usable source code search and cross reference engine
+ - tuxguitar : A Multitrack tablature editor and player
+ Only csound-java still requires gcj on Fedora (but not on Ubuntu). All the other are now build using open-jdk on Fedora. Even tuxguitar is now built with openjdk on cooker.
+ Therefore, we can conclude that gcj is not a top priority for Java package policy.
+
+2) Effective Mandriva Java packaging policy is almost the same as Fedora. Btw Fedora java package policy is up to date and very complete.
+It is written under Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported licence (<A HREF="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/</A>). I was wondering if I can adapt the Fedora policy to Mageia.
+This is allowed by its licence, but I don't know if it is possible or desirable to attribute some Mageia policy stuff to Fedora. Help on this point is welcome.
