There is no effective replacement for either the jdk or netscape at
this time.

The jdk because kaffe is not yet a drop in replacement; a situation
that will get worse if Sun ever alows third-party distribution of
java2 (jdk1.3).

Netscape because Mozilla is not yet building with functional support
for SSL.
