I'm afraid we have a policy to not allow new language
runtimes/interpreters into backports: "No changes to language
interpreters (python, mono, java). These tend to have a greater risk of
regression that is extremely difficult to test for. "

From
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#How%20to%20request%20new%20packages

So we won't be able to backport openjdk. My apologies.

Title:
  wishlist: openjdk-7 package for natty backports

Status in Natty Backports:
  Invalid
Status in “openjdk-7” package in Ubuntu:

Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:

Bug description:
  I would like to start using openjdk 7 via a repository asap (and not
  have to manually install the upstream release). Would it be possible
  to have the openjdk-7 packages from oneiric become available in natty-
  backports?
