This was a great idea. And it even works!

Only two small points. One was the the intro document referred to update.sh and it was updatescm.sh. It is amazing how hard it is to keep these things in sync as one is writing them. The other one was:

	% svn diff package64.sh 
	Index: package64.sh
	===================================================================
	--- package64.sh	(revision 54)
	+++ package64.sh	(working copy)
	@@ -1,6 +1,6 @@
	 #!/bin/bash
	 
	-OSOURCE_DIR=`pwd`/build/bsd-amd64/j2sdk-image
	+OSOURCE_DIR=`pwd`/bsd-port/build/bsd-amd64/j2sdk-image
	 SOURCE_DIR=`pwd`/java-osx/j2sdk-image
	 BUILD_DIR=`pwd`/java-osx
	 DMG_MOUNT_DIR=$BUILD_DIR/mount

And it even creates a nice installer dmg. Very impressive.
