My mistake then.
It's such a waste that the port done by those people will go to /dev/null.
No source code has gone out since the JDK 1.3.
And IMHO, the openjdk and the java community would benefit of the 
immense work
they've done if they could contribute back.
Not only for sparc, but for powerpc, and several exotic architectures too.
