I did (though I'm not Matthew, so I'm not answering for him), but I can't
get OpenOffice to "see" my native JDK 1.4.1 installed (from the port) on
-CURRENT.  I would be very interested to hear from anyone who has this
arrangement working.   Since I am on a 28.8K dialup connection, it would
take a long time to install the port, while I already have the package
(though it took all night to download).
