The .diffs file contains the changes made to Sun's code. You don't
need that unless you want to recompile it. patch-o-matic patches
the sources using these diffs. If you want to recomplile it you'll
have to set some environment variables and run patch-o-matic. Look
at patch-o-matic for the variables. However, normally there is no
need to recompile it, simply get the binary distribution.

This most probably means that you have downloaded the wrong version
of the JDK, i.e., the glibc2.1 archive on a glibc2.0 system.

The java (i.e., .java_wrapper) script fails to locate the JDK when it
does not get an absolute path. Don't call it using "./java", add the
/usr/local/jdk1.2/bin to your PATH and invoke it using "java" or invoke
it as you did above.
