Which means that the download is clearly corrupted.  I was just able to
download it and the checksum was fine.  So, you're probably just running
out of diskspace or something similar during the download.  Check the
size of what you downloaded.

I don't know anywhere other than Sun where you can get this from.  You
could also use diablo-jdk16 or openjdk6 instead, but you'll also need
to download stuff for either of those, so you're going to have to work
out your download problems one way or another.

Well, that was just bad timing.  Sun only released the new version
yesterday or the day before.
