Sun's download procedure is stupid and their web site is slooow (yes, I'm in
a bad mood). There are two "download" links next to the 1.2.2 source. The
top one goes to the Linux-only source, which is what you downloaded and the
bottom one goes to the proper sources. Get that one.

Yes, it was, but it's easy to redo right. :)
