    Your right, and it would seem that the best someone could come up 
with over the past several years are the small java version 1.5 with 
iced-tea added. That seems to be unsatisfactory but perhaps the best 
that can be done.

    As for the source code it for sure is odd. It comes in several 
directories as shown below:

[karl at k5di source-code]$ ls
com  java  javax  launcher  org  src.zip  sunw

    Odd but the java directory has this:

[karl at k5di java]$ ls
applet  awt  beans  io  lang  math  net  nio  rmi  security  sql  text  util

So it will be fun to figure out.
