SuSE has JVM, too
SuSE has JVM, too

Parent article: GNOME Platform Stormclouds
and has always had it since quite a while ago. To me, the idea of a desktop
distribution without java support seems pretty strange. So many small OSS
application that a) want to have a GUI and b) want to be cross-platform decide to use
java.

Commercial SuSE?

Yeah, the article probably should've just said commercial distributions, and left "enterprise" out. I'm running SuSE 9.0 installed from FTP, and no IBM or Sun JVM here that I can see (and I snarfed the entire free 9.0 mirror). One of the first things I did post-install was download and install one. Would I be right in assuming that you bought a boxed set?

Retail boxed SuSE versions have been indeed been shipping with both Sun and IBM Java JREs/SDKs. The FTP version could be missing the packages for a number of reasons, size being one non-license possiblity that springs to mind.
