Potential Server Seed impact for 14.04: removal of OpenJDK/Tomcat7 from Ubuntu main

I feel the need to weigh in on this. With Oracle's Java gone from the
repositories, there isn't any other compelling alternative except
OpenJDK for an enterprise grade Java stack.

Since OpenJDK *is* the reference implementation of Java, I'd rather see
gcj taken out. Otherwise without a supported OpenJDK in main, 3/4 of our
servers at work would be affected.

We have a combination of Glassfish, Tomcat, OpenAM, OpenDJ, and OpenIDM
all running on OpenJDK. Without it, I'm left on my own when
vulnerabilities come out - it's enough trying to keep the applications
secure, never mind having to worry about an unsupported Java on Internet
facing webservers.

Without OpenJDK I would most certainly migrate all the servers at work
to another distribution that maintains OpenJDK as part of its core packages.

Regards, Jamon
