>Description:
	The blackdown jdk 1.2 (linux binary) according to the Makefile
	conflicts with the netbsd native jdk 1.1.8, probably because
	they both want to live beyond /usr/pkg/java. Given the
	"special" properties of Java, though, it is standard practise
	for developers to set up several jdks in varying versions on a
	machine.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to install blackdown jdk side-by-side with jdk-1.1.8 and
	find the pkg does not let you.

>Fix:
	Slap identifier/version number to each jdk's root dir
	(jdk1.1.8, linux-jdk1.2.2, etc.), create a symlink from there
	to /usr/pkg/java
