I need JDK 1.6, as the Linux version is not good enough (it
creates files with funny permissions), but I don't think I can
afford to build from scratch. However once you've got the jdk16
port available somewhere I can download it and test it. It can
wait a few days/weeks more, no problem.
Thanks for your work Greg,
