I run Blackdown jdk1.2.2 on my laptop (NetBSD 1.5B) under Linux
emulation to test out our developer's apps. The installation process
is fairly straightforward: untar the linux jdk under the emulation
hierarchy, grab a copy of "expr" from a Linux dist and place it in
the usr/bin of your Linux directory, then patch jdk1.2.2/bin/.java_wrapper
and jdk1.2.2/jre/bin/.java_wrapper to support green threads.

I'd love native java support under NetBSD. Unfortunately, I was forced to
move over our webservers to Linux in order to support Jserv.
