Yes, since b07 back in March, *no* binary plugs are required to build 
the OpenJDK 6 sources from Sun.  The only remaining plug is for SNMP 
support, which is not required functionality according to the platform 
spec and is thus not tested by the JCK.  IIRC, JDK 7 may still have a 
plug for sound since I don't think Gervill has been integrated there yet.
