Not to dis you or your company's efforts, but if this is actually a
"clean" implementation of the JDK straight from Sun sources and never
having touched the Blackdown code, then I find the contents of
jdk1.2.2/jre/README.linux to be rather suspicious:
README.linux for Java 2 SDK Version 1.2.1 for Linux, pre-release 1

This is the Blackdown Java-Linux port of the Java 2 SDK Version 1.2.1.
[etc...]
It looks like either someone at Inprise or at Sun isn't playing fair.
Either that or this is some bizarre remnant of applying patches to the
base JDK source from Blackdown mods, in which case, it's still not fair
to claim this as a "clean" implementation not related to the Blackdown
effort.
If I were any of the Blackdown porters, I would find a good friend
immediately to pull Sun's knife from my back.
