Switching default-java to OpenJDK7 subject was discussed on debian-java [1] last year, and conclusion was : - Since Java 6 will be EOL on Nov 2012 [2], switch to openjdk-7 is the way to go but isn't that simple - there was 100+ FTBFS by 2011 end (Ubuntu done some test rebuild) - AFAIK, there is still 50+ FTBFS [3] :/ You can see in UDD that there was some bugs recently fixed regarding those FTBFS but clearly there is a long way before we can fix everything...
