Very nice!

Tarballs are available via:

    http://www.duh.org/NetBSD/java2/

and I am adding the following packages to pkgsrc shortly:

    lang/scsl-jdk15
    lang/scsl-jre15

to provide pkgsrc-aware versions of this JDK build.  Currently I only
have builds against NetBSD/i386 2.0+, but I plan on adding more builds
(including 1.3.1 for NetBSD 1.6, the last release runnable on that
NetBSD version).

If someone out there has a speedy SPARC running NetBSD 2.x or 3.x and
would like to help out, I need a build environment to make
NetBSD/sparc JDK builds.  (Other platforms are not yet complete in the
BSD JDK patchsets, so I'm afraid those will have to wait for a while.)
