(An apology/explanation: At various points I thought that Sun would
take enough steps in fixing licensing to make CLASSPATH project (and
others) unnecessary and irrelevant. I still hope this happens.  I've
made bits of progress serving on JCP (see the recent announcement
about TCK availablity) and I honestly (although idealistically) think
it will eventually work out, but progress is way too slow...)

I understand the restiktive license of the jdk-classes.
Otherwise java would brake up into hundered of incompatible standards, andd that wouldnt be good for java.
It would die like commercial Unix died, simply because theres no standard,
