This sounds very good. One of the classpath developers have on my
request used jump as a test program and fixed lots of bugs in
classpath the last few weeks. I'm pleased to learn that he has done
good progress. :)

Is there no free source available for java3d and jai? What features
from jdk1.4 are needed?

Anyone can file ITP bugs. But non-DDs need to upload through a
sponsor which is a DD. I'm happy to review and sponsor packages, but
I am not up to date with Java packages, so I do not want to sponsor
those. Sorry about that.
