OpenJDK level on CentOS?

What level of OpenJDK can one find in the latest version of CentOS?.
I've looked at the CentOS wiki pages but couldn't find a precise
answer, other than references on how to manually install Sun and IBM
JREs, and a mention about OpenJDK 6 being part of the repos.

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS

TIA,
FC

That sounds like good information.  What more do you want to
know?

The last CentOS version is: x.y
and it includes in its repos OpenJDK ver x.y.z.

So why don't you just use yum update?  Then you'll know.  It's
far more useful to ask CentOS about their plans.

Gee, because I'm NOT running CentOS, just PLAN TO run it, but first I
want to know the level of OpenJDK available on it.

 From what I can see on:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.2/os/x86_64/Packages/

The latest is: java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.41.1.10.4.el6.x86_64.rpm

Roman

Thanks Roman.

And to Andrew, you can see below that I'm not alone asking about the
supported OpenJDK Java release in CentOS...

https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=37906&forum=56

"After installing CentOS 6.2, I searched the default repositories and
found that OpenJDK 6 was there, but OpenJDK 7 was not. Is there
another repository that has the RPM's for OpenJDK 7? Are there plans
to eventually add it to the default repositories? In the meantime, is
it possible to use the RPMs from another distro such as Fedora? I
would like to avoid having to compile from source."

and the reply:

"RHEL 6.3 was released about 2 days ago and one of the features listed
is that it includes OpenJDK 7 as well as the Oracle and IBM JVMs.
It'll take a while to build CentOS 6.3 from the sources but it should
be available soonish."
