Dean, I think you're missing the point I was labouring: this target user 
apparently wants it all installed from the outset without having to resort to 
any form of package management - least of all changing package sources. And 
the Java you refer to is gcj - have you tried running Netbeans or Eclipse 
under gcj? All credit to the developers but it is still unusable IMHO.
