I imagine that Sun would actually like us to switch to OpenJDK6 instead and won't want to put the source code back up. Unfortunately thats not something we can do instantly. What is really needed is for someone to host the current source files. The tricky part is you need some sort of click through agreement with the JRL. I don't have enough bandwidth to host such a large download unfortunately. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
