Earlier this week I posted how OpenJDK was knock, knock, knockin' on Lenny's door. At that time I also mentioned how it was already in Ubuntu and Fedora.
What I failed to mention, however, and was right under my very nose was that fact that OpenJDK had already made it into OpenSUSE 11. Thanks to MySQL Euro-community manager and former SUSE employee Lenz Grimmer, I was …
