I want to second this request for keeping Sun-Java in the list of supported packages. Besides being Brazilian and subject to the issues already posted by my fellow countrymen here, as a developer I, as well as a the large majority of developers around the world, take advantage of development IDEs to get our work done in an easier and more integrated manner. In my case, I use Eclipse, which is a java application. Although it works to some extent with OpenJDK, not all of it's features work correctly without Oracle's JVM, and it's really slow under OpenJDK. This is true for other IDEs too, as well as many other java apps available out there. I'm aware that we can always get sun-java from other sources, but it would make it a lot more difficult for the not so tech-savvy users to accomplish. Further, the upgrade/update process to newer versions/releases of the package would be a lot more difficult to be done, forcing many of those users to rely upon an outdated and less secure version/release. So, please, let it stay in the list of supported packages or at least, as jmhal pointed out, give Ubuntu users an easy way to install and upgrade/update it from other sources, whatever they might be.
