Soon is basically going to be the first thing after CentOS-6.4 is
released and past the initial early problem stages.  So, some time in
mid March to begin is certainly possible.

I have not completely decided yet as I have to research requirements, 
but my initial inclination is to build everything that will do so with
OpenJDK 1.7 .. including items being pulled in from the OS.  I know
OpenJDK 1.6 will continue to get support from Red Hat, but Oracle is
stopping support for Java 6, so moving to OpenJDK 1.7 seems like a good
move to me.  Some of the system packages will only build with
java-1.5.0-gcj, but for things that build with and use JDK, using 1.7.0
(so 3 versions are not needed) will be the goal.
