March 2007 is the release date, and even then it will be missing pieces making it not immediately usable for Fedora, like parts needed for PPC.Do you mean that they won't release the JVM implementation for PowerPC? Or what? I would expect most of what's coming out will be platform independent. Thanks. Any references?

The current Sun JVM does not work on the PPC architecture.

The Sun JVM is already x86 & SPARC portable. And IBM (and Apple) have one on PowerPC, which I've heard is just Sun's Java + patches.
In any case, I would expect that once the whole thing is GPL'd that it'll be made to work on PowerPC pretty quickly - probably by IBM.
