        oops, I was looking at amd64-2.0 instead of i386-2.0.  That
build seems to have problems finding a jvm.

        That particular problem was caused by David Brownless using the broken

        oh, sun-jdk13 is probably ok.  I didn't realize that that package
was still in pkgsrc.  It's seems a bit odd that it's the default jvm
