Oracle's Java *is* a second class citizen, as intended by Oracle themselves. Previously, Oracle Java 6 was the standard reference implementation of the Java specification. With Java 7, OpenJDK is the standard reference implementation[1]. The irony of this, of course, is that Oracle's own Java is now the "fork" and OpenJDK is the "real" Java.
