vermillion is code name of JDS(Java Desktop System), which is gnome
based, plus some other apps like firefox/thunderbird, etc. You could
take it as gnome distribution on Solaris. 

If you install Solaris Developer Express, you already have vermillion
installed. The link which I pointed to you is the latest vermillion
build.

BTW, AFAIK, JDS is going to change name to gnome.
