This meant the community and/or Red Hat did not get the JSR-336 TCK
yet. It doesn't mean there is any problem with license or process
that prevents Fedora to get the TCK and certifiy OpenJDK 7 finaries
for F16 or a future release.
Am I correct?
Yes.
If I am, is there a timeframe for certified builds?
No.
I'd hate having to get Oracle proprietaty binaries just to
satisfy
bureucratic requirements. :-(
And while we're talking about Java 7, I heard about serious problems
preventing some open source packages like Lucene from running under
Java 7 on production settings.
That is ancient history. This bug was fixed almost instantly in
IcedTea devel, and no release was ever shipped with this bug either.
