   Not quite. The sources used in the diablo distribution are from an
early stage of Java 5. Several applications, such as the upcoming
Netbeans 6, depend on the changes that appeared in the Java tree
since. For instance, Netbeans 6 requires 1.5.0_11, which is exactly
where the jdk15 port is now ;)
