It does not. Icedtea-7 builds with GCJ. I see no problems with removing “icedtea-6” (after removing the inheritance issues). I would not like to wait for security advisories to be published, because security vulnerabilities in Java are really just a matter of time. They may not even be reported in time because hardly anyone uses that version any more. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
