If Icedtea-web is the plug-in component for OpenJDK upstream, its name should be openjdk-plugin !

My view was not making openjdk depend on the plug-in, just a renaming so
"yum install openjdk7*" would pick openjdk (the jvm) and openjdk-plugin.
Notice the asterisk.

Also people looking for "openJDK" on the graphical package managers would
see not only the JVM but also the plug-in.

But, of course, people who just do a "yum install openjdk" would get only
the jvm, not the plug-in.
It think this is a middle ground that would please almost everyone.
