I was cruising through the packages on the web and noticed a bunch of
packages for Java.  I was wondering if it would be prudent to create a
CSWjava package we could compile and link against so as not to have to
rely on users to download and install a compatible version.

basically it would be more of a "re-package" then anything else.
download the "shar" files from Java.sun.com, extract them in /opt/csw
and package them into CSWjava32-rt CSWjava32-devel CSWjava64-rt
CSWjava64-devel

that way we could put dependencies on the java packages that require the
 CSW version.  It will make building the java dependent packages much
easier.

Thoughts?
