It's not completely done yet. Some build tools were proprietary (Red Hat
started the IcedTea project to rectify that). 

Some 2D graphics and sound stuff was not free. I've read that the
developer of the 2D graphics stuff OK-ed the open sourcing, and that Sun
is rewriting the sound bits.

In short: patience, grasshopper ;-)
