Correct again.  HotSpot seems to be pretty close:

> ./bin/java -version
java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build diablo-1.5.0-b00)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-internal-glewis_26_mar_2007_21_08-b00, mixed mode)

But the j2se portion still needs a lot of work.
