<PRE>Hello,
I am still a padawan packager, but I plan to work on java packages.

That page is clearly outdated, but I think it would be good to have an up-
to-date java policy for Mageia.

I think the main focus should now be openjdk, and gcj should be optional.
It is briefly mentioned in the page you refer to at the section &quot;GCJ and 
native code&quot; that gcj AOT libraries could be put in an optional package.
Debian already does this, for example
<A HREF="http://packages.debian.org/lenny/ant">http://packages.debian.org/lenny/ant</A>
<A HREF="http://packages.debian.org/lenny/ant-gcj">http://packages.debian.org/lenny/ant-gcj</A>
So the base package containing the jars can be noarch, and only the optional 
*-gcj package is arch specific and requires gcj.
And, as many java programs simply won't work with gcj, those optional 
packages would only be provided for programs/libraries that actually work 
with gcj.
