Hi,
well, Java isn't open source (see the recent story around blackdown).
But the Sun Community Source License (SCSL) at least allows you to look
at the code, including the native one. You can download it from Sun's
web pages (25 MB); follow the links on Community Program or something
like that.
By the way, I noticed that in 1.3beta the BigInteger class no longer
uses native methods. Instead, all seams to be implemented in java.
For your convenience, I'll send you the native code of interest in a
private mail.
