Aha! I had just looked for things starting with "j", so I missed the 
sun-jdk package and installed the jdk-1.1.8 instead. It is missing the -jar 
commandline option.

I just removed it and installed lang/sun-jdk14. Now the -jar option is 
there, but now whenever I try to run it (for anything other than just doing 
"java -?"), I get the following error:

   Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Can't detect initial thread stack 
location
   Error occurred during initialization of VM
   Could not reserve enough space for object heap

I'm running a more-or-less GENERIC -current kernel built from sources about 
10 days ago (userland is the July 15 -current snapshot from 
releng.netbsd.org). This is running in a VMWare client VM with 256MB of 
memory allocated to it. Is there some option I need to put in my kernel 
config? A missing library?
