I've built with openjdk and ecj/libgcj a lot without any particular
problems for quite a long time on Fedora. I did install SLED11 on a
VirtualBox a while ago, and the default java-devel story there is rather
unfortunately messy, e.g. have to dig quite a bit to find a javac rpm on
the SDK, and its a IBM one, the situation seems fairly dependent on your
distro. Fedora and Debian seem straight-forward, in that I've built on
both of those without any particular java woes.
