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.
