Hi Guys, I d/l the version of Sun java that comes with a src.zip

You need to ask yourself: "What is this the source code of?".
You will find, or I hope you will find, that his is original source code
of for the API (Application Interfaces) class libraries. It doesn't
include any of the source for things such as the JVM or the java
compiler. The main use of these are in debugging.
You can send out a binary version made by you anywhere it seems.
There is a lot more to read about. I got:
*Linux self-extracting JDK file
of 67 MBytes that does have the source file as shown.
Much more later when I read it.
Good luck.... But you may find yourself better served by joining the
java forums and learning about java there as those forums are focused on
java. To continue trying to learn about java here will be painful and
potentially filled with inaccurate information.
Your right, and it would seem that the best someone could come up
with over the past several years are the small java version 1.5 with
iced-tea added. That seems to be unsatisfactory but perhaps the best
that can be done.
As for the source code it for sure is odd. It comes in several
directories as shown below:
[karl@k5di source-code]$ ls
com java javax launcher org src.zip sunw
Odd but the java directory has this:
[karl@k5di java]$ ls
applet awt beans io lang math net nio rmi security sql text util
So it will be fun to figure out.
