FYI, I run FC1 too and find it excellent.

No, due to the lack of a suitable open-source java (JRE) implementation
(in RH's opinion).

jpackage is indeed the only one I know of. "Too many dependencies"
isn't really a problem unless 1) you don't have a dependency management
tool (see apt, yum, up2date); and/or 2) the dependencies conflict with
other rpms' dependencies (somebody's packages are non-optimal, then).
