Isn't that a straw man argument? If gcj version executes all of the java
needs of the packages that Fedora offers, isn't that enough?

I haven't run OpenNMS but I note their recommendation for 1.5.x which is
starting to age now. I have Alfresco running and I don't know that it
does/doesn't work with gcj version because I just simply installed the
Sun version but Tomcat works with the gcj version so it wouldn't be too
much of a stretch to think that it would work with Alfresco too.
