When will JDK 1.2 beta be released?

[Seth Bank]

        I want to use a package that requires Java2D and Java3D which are
new for JDK 1.2 beta, so I was wondering two things (1) when/if do you
think you will release version 1.2? (2) is it possible to just download  
the Java2D and Java3D classes and stick them in my classpath?  

thanks,
Seth
