JDK 'make install' - puzzling error message

Hi - I've just gone to ...

http://java.sun.com/webapps/download/Display?BundleId=7479

... to download the JDK and put it into ports/distfiles. However when I
do 'make install' from /usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk13 I get ...

===>  linux-sun-jdk-1.3.1.07_1 You must manually fetch the Java 2
Development Kit 1.3.1.07 archive (j2sdk-1_3_1_07-linux-i586.bin) from
http://java.sun.com/webapps/download/Display?BundleId=7479, download the
Linux GNUZIP Tar shell script into /usr/ports/distfiles and then run make
again.

... well I've got two problems arising from that. 

First following that link mentioned in the error message now gives you
j2sdk-1_3_1_08-linux-i586.bin not the 07 version - so does anyone know
how I can get the 07 version ?. 

The other thing is that I'm afraid I have no idea what 'the Linux GNUZIP
Tar shell script' might be or where I should get it from - is that
another name for what I've downloaded ?

Any help would appreciated.

thanks

richard shea.
