ug.  that is *total* BS.  Stypid SUN!  The licensing strictly forbids
developers from distributing their own classes/vm modifications (so that
the Java standard isn't forked) but they seem to like doing it just
fine.

I wonder if they ran their *secret* JCK across this code! :)

I know... SUN's current process for this is terrible!  Java needs to be
Open Source!
