I think you meant the 'tools' directory as tools-copy is used for 
building hotspot :) But even then, the tools directory is supposed to be 
disappearing since I've moved tools/* to rt/* (all the NetX sources).

Hmm, which reminds me: if we decide to just include this default.jar in 
the JRE (say in lib/), I'd need to build this jar during the icedtea 
build process, and thus I'd also need somewhere to put the default.jar 
sources for building. tools/ doesn't seem too appropriate since the 
class files aren't going into any tools.jar. Perhaps a new 
icedtea/extra/ directory?
