Hello Oliver,

> After installing JDK 1.6, there's a file "src.zip"
> in /usr/local/jdk1.6.0.  The file's size is 18 MB.
>
> Is that file required for correct operation of the
> JDK, or can it be safely deleted?

>From /usr/local/jdk1.6.0/README.html:

"(In src.zip) Java programming language source files for all classes that
make up the Java core API [...]. This source code is provided for
informational purposes only, to help developers learn and use the Java
programming language."

I think that answers the question. ;-)
