Although I can't remember the exact address, I know you can get a
port of the JDK from somewhere. You can get the address from Sun's
Java pages, click on External Ports (or something like that). Sorry
this sounds a bit vague : it's not really as hard as it sounds. You
need the latest versions of libc and various other things though;
this may mean getting a new make as well.
