[indiana-discuss] No java pkg on pkg.opensolaris.org

[Bryan Boone]

I think the key is the difference between pkg and pkgadd.
You can download either self-extracting archives from Sun or Solaris 
packages.  Either way you have to got the extra mile to get "expected" 
behavior from a Sun product.

I, for one, look forward to the day when I can replace my Linux (x64) 
box with a Solaris (x64).  It's (Solaris) faster, but I have to think 
too much about packaging so I'm still using Linux.  I have confidence in 
Ian, I use Debian ;)
