* I just dropped a port that will install the needed components of the JDK
* to compile Java programs using Netscape on
* ftp.freebsd.org://pub/FreeBSD/incoming. It'll install a script called
* 'javac' which acts exactly like the javac that runs on Solaris. I'd
* recommend that it be put in the www catagory even though it's a compiler,
* because it needs Netscape 3.0 as a prerequisite.
Ok, committed. I took out the NO_PACKAGE though, as the license
exlicitly permits redistribution as far as I can tell.

By the way, the class library seems to be the same as what the kaffe
port uses, although they hold it as a single .zip file
(/usr/local/share/kaffe/classes.zip).
This thing is pretty large, can you see if you guys can somehow share
this? Tim Wilkinson <tim@sarc.city.ac.uk> is the author of kaffe,
Jeffrey Hsu <hsu@freebsd.org> and Chuck Robey <chuckr@Glue.umd.edu>
are our liaisons.
