ok, i've recently gotten into toying with java, and i have the question of:

is running java going to happen for port-macppc?  i've got plenty of Solaris
boxes here to run it on, or will once i get them setup, and in the
meantime, i would like to do some devel work on my mac.

is this reasonable?  does java even work well on NetBSD?  the source code *is*
available, does sun include enough to build a working Java from it?  would
porting be something i might want to look at for the good of NetBSD?  all the
"best" jdk stuff seems to be linux that we are running via compat.
