Yes.

My next question is: Should ApacheJserv be in cooker if it's dependant
on a package that's not in cooker (for a reason --> licensing)? Why not
distribute ApacheJserv on the 2nd Application CD? Or are there other
JVM's available which can be put on the cooker CD (licencing). Can't
this be done with kaffe or jikes? I'm not into all this java stuff, just
wondering...
