Seems to work on Fedora 11, at least, with java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-30.b16.fc11.x86_64

java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.6) (fedora-30.b16.fc11-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)

I doubt it would be any different on Fedora 12.  I didn't do any extensive testing, however.
