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

icedtea-web provides java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin

If it is not on the system, 'yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin' pulls
in icedtea-web. However on the same system, 
'yum install "java-1.6.0-openjdk*"' does not pull it in.

So yum is ignoring virtual provides when glob pattern matching is used,
which is why I think it is a yum bug.
