Tracking bug text

This is a bug to track overall progress on Headless Java Change[1].

java-headless subpackage has been split off from OpenJDK package to enable
dependency chain simplification. Most java libraries and console utilities 
can easily start using java-headless dependency by replacing their 
"Requires: java" to "Requires: java-headless".

Few exceptions where packages can not use java-headless but must keep using
full java package.
 * software using Java awt subsystem
 * software using Java sound subsystem

Untouched bugs blocking this bug will be automatically migrated to java-headless 
after February 15th 2014. 

For more details see the Headless Java change proposal page[1].

Package bug text

Summary: %{name}: Switch to java-headless (build)requires

%{name} currently Requires and/or BuildRequires java. OpenJDK package has been split
and most packages should now Require package "java-headless" instead. BuildRequires on 
java-devel stay unchanged.

Few exceptions where packages can not use java-headless but must keep using
full java package.
 * software using Java awt subsystem
 * software using Java sound subsystem

Your options:
1. Leave this bug untouched and after February 15th 2014 an automated tool will migrate this package to
   java-headless and run a rebuild in Fedora Rawhide.
2. Change bug to "Assigned" if you plan to review and migrate to java-headless manually. Automated 
   tool will not touch bugs that are not in NEW state.

See tracking bug ##### or Headless Java change proposal[1] for more details about this change.
Also feel free to ask on java-devel mailing list if you are not sure what to do[2]
