    I'd really like to get the 1.2beta4 version of javadoc running on
    my Linux machine as well. Is there any easy way for me to do this? 

Karl,

As mentioned at
http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/docs/faq/FAQ-java-linux-2.html#ss2.7,
you can just run unzip(1) on the Solaris archive.

    Sun doesn't provide the sources for the tools, like javadoc, do
    they? How do the great folks who've done these awesome Linux ports
    of the whole JDK do the porting of the tools in general?

You can unpack the src.zip file and peek at it. A lot is changing now,
so you can't expect to be able to use 1.1 class libraries for
everything. With work, some things can be ported.

Steve
