The Fedora stuff looks a bit odd.  For 9, you have:

+	      <code>yum-builddep java-openjdk</code>
+	      <p/>
+	      <code>yum install gcc gcc-c++</code>
+	      <p/>
+	      In addition, it's necessary to set a few environment variables
for the build:
+
+	      <p/>
+	      <code>export LANG=C ALT_BOOTDIR=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk</code>

but then for 10 and 11:

+	      <code>yum-builddep java-1.6.0-openjdk</code>
+	      <p/>
+	      <code>yum install gcc gcc-c++</code>
+	      <p/>
+	      In addition, it's necessary to set a few environment variables
for the build:
+
+	      <p/>
+	      <code>export LANG=C ALT_BOOTDIR=/usr/lib/jvm/java-openjdk</code>
+            </blockquote>

I think either java-openjdk or java-1.6.0-openjdk should be used
consistently throughout.  The former is probably most future proof, as
it should still work when OpenJDK7 is released around March.

Otherwise, looks good.  Thanks for the update,
