I hate to throw organizational nonsense at you, but JDK is a JavaSoft product. I work for Sun Microsystems Computer Company, the division that makes all the hardware. I'm a presales consultant, largely involved in getting ISVs and customers on the Java bandwagon, then hopefully using that to help drive hardware sales. My resources on the JDK development and testing side are limited. Having said all that, tell me what you need and I'll make a few phone calls.
