I think Nicolas' option 2) is very reasonable.

The java compiler is not just necessary for JSP compilation but for a
whole range of normal server side Java deployment scenarios which depend
on ant and javac.

Is there any good temporary workaround? The best I could find was

sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends -d install openjdk-6-jdk
sudo dpkg -i --ignore-depends=openjdk-6-jre /var/cache/apt/archives/openjdk-6-jdk_6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu7_i386.deb

Best regards,
Anders

openjdk-6-jdk should depend on openjdk-6-jre-headless too

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: Triaged

Bug description:
Binary package hint: openjdk-6-jdk

OpenJDK depends on:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3), libx11-6, openjdk-6-jre (>= 6b11-2ubuntu2), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-1)

But it could and should depend on openjdk-6-jre OR openjdk-6-jre-headless. I don't need any of the bloated X references on a headless installation.
I would like to see this fixed.
