The biggest stumbling block is getting legal go-ahead to distribute the JDK
in binary form. This is a long road to walk.

We would really appreciate any help you can give us in this process.

Meanwhile, the Linux JDK's will fill the gap nicely. They are stable and
many people use them in production environments. I asked this earlier on the
list. Geocrawler will allow you to dig up that threat if you're interested.
