I misremembered the actual bug being about the runtime.name variable,
but it is prety close (it was about the plugin string having to contain
Java(TM)): http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=111

Of course the point was more that testing against runtime.name is not
the correct feature test for this particular case. And that different
OpenJDK derivatives already use different values for that property.
