My guess is that the person who made the package did that.

MetroLink provided the JDK group with Motif developer kits so that we
can build the JDK with Motif *and* statically link it.  The JDK archives
we have produced include both the static and dynamic linked versions
of the JVM (java, java_dyn, etc)  For most users, just installing
the JDK and using it will result in the user getting the statically
linked JDK.  Setting DYN_JAVA to some value will make the wrapper
script load the dynamic linked version of the JVM.

No.  Now, if you were to compile the JDK you would need either Motif
or LessTif.  Currently we have run into a number of strange behaviors
in LessTif that prevent the JDK from running 100% correctly with AWT
code.  The MetroLink Motif does not have these problems.
