Yep, that one was bad. But I don't think that I want to install a
specific JDK just for compiling. OK, I've curently 5 JDKs installed,
but this is a bug and it should be dealed with like a bug.

Upstream states, that its code is jdk1.3 and so I think that it should
also work in 1.4 (it's also a bug if I can't compile a code with
gcc3.2 and just say, that the user should use 2.95). Upstream has also
changed this code as eclipse will go 1.4 (regex, assert)during the 3.0
release. 

What we should get is some script which give me a 'proper' java (SUN,
BD, IBM, kaffe 'when its ready'. No, I don't thing update-alternatvie
is good enough for that, as it has to many '/usr/bin/java' registered,
which are not working in most cases.

The author of mpkg-j2sdk has a script called 'javaselect', which sounds
like it is something we could use for this.

This 'search for a proper java' is in almost every startscript of a
java program and is therefor a perfect thing to put into a common
place. IMO java-common should provide such things.
