No problems - my apologies that I didn't answer your question originally.

The pkgsrc/devel/javadeps uses 1.2 or later:

DEPENDS=        sun-jdk-[0-9]*:../../lang/sun-jdk13

which will install the jdk 1.3 if 1.2 or later is not already installed
on the system.

However, I fear I'm missing out on something, and not answering your
question very well - feel free to contact me off list...

Take care,
