Oracle recently decided to remove the DLJ (Operating System Distributor License for Java) from their license on their own proprietary implementation of java [1]. For a good article explaining the situation, please refer to [2].

This means that you will have to use openjdk6 from [community] or get jre/jdk (java 7) and jre6/jdk6 (java 6) from the AUR.

My personal opinion is that although openjdk6 is more buggy, I encourage everyone to use it and report bugs against it from now on. This will be better for linux in the long run.

I will not be maintaining these packages in the AUR anymore.
