thread_title:  Compatibility Update 

message: There are currently two release streams of IcedTea: IcedTea6 based on the OpenJDK6 sources, and IcedTea based on the OpenJDK sources.  They have different current version numbers.  Please leave the two boxes intact or find a way of merging all data.  Do NOT just remove IcedTea6!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gnu andrew (talk • contribs) 19:30, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Versions 

message: In ubuntu the switch of package names happened at the same time as the switch from 7 to 6. Does anyone know if this was also the case in fedora? Plugwash (talk) 09:10, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  rename 

message: : Unfortunately, IcedTea has become popular among package maintainers for the following *NIX distributions, even though it does not work at all with some applications.
and
: Unfortunately, it does not work with many applications. Install sun-java6-jre instead.
Both of these sentences should be IMHO deleted as unevidenced point-of-view rants in the best of all possible interpretations being an independent research. Also, it doesn't consider a possibility that those "many applications" are in fact broken by using non-standard non-public proprietary interfaces of Sun/Oracle (com.* classes for example). However, without regards to the evidence, this kind of discussion is not proper part of Wikipedia article.
I will remove these sentences in near future, unless persuaded otherwise.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.177.109.184 (talk) 00:00, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  non-NPOV 

message: Parts of this article overlap with OpenJDK, Java Class Library and Free Java implementations. I'm not clear on what can be done about it though. I don't think the articles can be merged. Should a new article covering the overlapping parts be created? I cross-posted this discussion to all talk pages. --Chealer (talk) 21:39, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Overlap with OpenJDK, Java Class Library and Free Java implementations 

message: This sentence in the article violates WP:LABEL because it calls the promises "lies."
: Sun has made continued promises about releasing their plugin and Web Start implementation as part of OpenJDK, but have so far they have been no more than lies, despite continued pressure from the community.
