Most do not.  Especially something as complicated as the JDK.  Also, in
the future we may (??) get access to software bits that normal users
can't compile (due to legal reasons), so you may be forced to use a
pre-compiled binary if you want a newer JDK (1.4) with HotSpot or
something.  (However, I'm just guessing.)
