Definitely a "me to". This broke all my Java apps after updating to Lucid. And all of my co-workers too - we're a Java dev shop. The workaround of using the partner repo worked, but it was a nuisance; why jump through any hoops at all? Installing the real Sun JVM worked so nicely before.

Also, for the record, while I support it fully and want very much for it to be successful, OpenJDK doesn't work well enough yet to be the default.
