Description Stanislav Ochotnicky 2014-02-21 12:46:45 UTC

java-atk-wrapper or one of its subpackages currently Requires and/or BuildRequires
java. OpenJDK package has been split and most packages should now Require
package 'java-headless' instead. Requires and BuildRequires on java-devel remain
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 March 17th 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 #1067528 or Headless Java change proposal[1] and Java Packaging
guidelines[2] for more details about this change.

If you have more questions about this change feel free to ask on java-devel
mailing list[3] or #fedora-java Freenode IRC channel (mostly 9:00-18:00 CET).

Although java-atk-wrapper  can pretty ok live without full jre, it is supposed to be help for GUI applications. 
I'm hesitating with change here.  It should be ok to have atk-wrapper to heave headless, and lets depending applications to pull rest of jre.
Keeping in new now.

Sorry, I somehow missed the needinfo :(

Looking solely at the API java-atk-wrapper is using (AWT/Swing) it seems like installing java-atk-wrapper without having AWT/Swing will just lead to a broken java-atk-wrapper.

If you have a headless system, I don't see why you would need java-atk-wrapper. The console has no accessibility support. Web servers (or other servers) can't use the Swing-specific API.

My recommendation is to have java-atk-wrapper depend on the full JRE, not -headless.
