We are proud to announce the release of IcedTea6 1.4.1.

The IcedTea6 project provides a harness to build the source code from OpenJDK6 using Free Software build tools.

What’s New?
—————–
- Fixed version string: Set PRODUCT_NAME to OpenJDK, unless doing a CACAO
build (set to IcedTea).
- Plugin fixes.
- Re-implemented VisualVm.

The tarball and nosrc RPM can be downloaded here:

We would also like to thank the bug reporters and testers!
