It requires two downloads to get a working JDK system. No other OS requires multiple packages to work. People shouldn't have to compile Motif up just to get a non-source version of the JDK to work. Versioning problems that can be caused by folks using different include files and/or X than what was used to build the JDK. Bugs that have slipped in due to changes in the Motif port that negatively effect the JDK. Shall I go on?
