Yup, you're right.

As Arnaud said, please fill it as a wishlist bug. It will take
a (longer) while before we can actually fully resolve this problem.
What is so hard about it? Let's see a machine at my university:
$ ls /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.05/jre/bin/
ControlPanel java_vm kinit ktab policytool rmiregistry tnameserv
java keytool klist orbd rmid servertool
I do not think we have free equivalents for most of these yet. I would
need to look at Kaffe, or maybe it should actually be requested that
classpath-tools provided (some of) these? (what do you think Arnaud?)
Did you actually hit a program that requires these tools in jre/bin and
does not work with free-java-sdk otherwise, or you just noticed that
these tools were "missing"?
This way or another please file a bugreport so that it didn't get lost.
Thanks for using Free Java,
