It requires two downloads to get a working JDK system. No other OS
requires multiple packages to work.
People shouldn't have to compile Motif up just to get a non-source
version of the JDK to work. Versioning problems that can be caused by
folks using different include files and/or X than what was used to build
the JDK. Bugs that have slipped in due to changes in the Motif port
that negatively effect the JDK.
Shall I go on?
