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 (build)requires.
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 <date>.
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 the same.
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 <date> 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 unsure[2]
