Java/JRE for NetBSD sparc64?


  I have a netbsd-5 sparc64 that I'd like to run a java application on.  Looking around pkgsrc I'm mosting
finding i386/amd64 things only.

  Is there a JRE (or the like) for NetBSD sparc64?

Someone cross-built one. It is not hard to do, you just need to convert
the java, javac, jar commands to ssh to another machine and perform them.

I wonder if it would be useful to create a java wrapper package which installs
a set of java commands for pkg_alternate, all just ssh to a specified host to
run the command. All assuming paths are shared via NFS or similar...

If anyone is interested & needs some pointers I'd be happy to help :)
