There is also a project to free the JDK from "itself" :) http://iced-tea.org/ (soon to be back at the old url icedtea.classpath.org hopefully) Then you don't need any binary plugs nor a JDK installed when compiling on GNU/Linux. It will use the gcj compiler to build and provides free software alternatives for the plugs based on existing and newly written code. (And it contains build patches like you pointed out against the bxy drops when appropriate to make things bootstrap out of the box.) Discussion about it takes place on the GNU/Linux distro-pkg-dev OpenJDK mailinglist: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/distro-pkg-dev Cheers, Mark
