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

Yes, you are correct -- I was misreading the error I got when I ran this
command

  [root at sputstik ~]# yum install openjdk*
  Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
  Setting up Install Process
  No package openjdk* available.
  Error: Nothing to do
  [root at sputstik ~]#

The problem is not the wildcard itself, rather that the pattern openjdk*
does not match an actual package. The following does work

  [root at sputstik ~]# yum install *openjdk*
  Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
  Setting up Install Process
  Package 1:java-1.6.0-openjdk-javadoc-1.6.0.0-65.1.11.1.fc16.x86_64
already installed and latest version
  Package 1:java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-65.1.11.1.fc16.x86_64
already installed and latest version
  . . .
