Once you've built and installed a native JDK, you can dispense with
the Linux JDK, and the entire Linux compatability setup, if the only
reason you only installed it was to build the JDK with.
To build eg. JDK 1.4.x, you need to use JDK 1.4.x to compile it. This
Catch 22 situation is the only reason why you have to install a
pre-compiled JDK, and the licensing situation being what it is, that
means a Linux JDK. However, once the native JDK is installed, you can
use that to install any updates to the JDK that happen to come along.
Cheers,
Matthew
