Can you assure that this framework will be in the default install of subsequent major OS X releases (10.7 and onward)? The Java deprecation notice never made it clear to me, what parts will be optional installs. I would assume that only  /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/* falls into this category then.

You must have Java installed in order to build Java, thus you will have JavaRuntimeSupport whenever you have Java installed.  Whether it is there or not when you don't have Java installed shouldn't (and doesn't) matter.

I think the suggestion is that JavaRuntimeSupport is not part of OpenJDK (right?) and therefore how do you get it installed when Apple stops shipping it's own Java runtime.
