The only real "gotcha" is that Sun won't let you get an old version of its JDK source distribution. (ie. anything before 1.1.5 now) This is based on my personal experience trying to get 1.1.1 after 1.1.2 was released. Maybe you'll have better luck than I, or your pretty-please are prettier ;-) Alex.
