Required Java version? (IcedTea?)

I saw on Slashdot today that IcedTea (the open source version of Java, now 
included in Fedora 9) has passed the Java Test Compatibility Test (TCK).

What's the current Java requirement for OFBiz, and what goes wrong if one 
attempts to use IcedTea?

(Open sourcing Java means more Linux servers will have Java deployed as 
part of the OS distribution, which means many more potential boxes to run 
OFBiz on. It's one less thing to have to learn how to install to get to a 
working system.)
