Items that have been added to the section * * in this README entitled "Redistribution of Java 2 SDK files" * * are: * * * * bin/javac.exe (Microsoft Windows) * * bin/javac and bin/i386/native_threads/javac (Linux and Solaris IA) * * bin/javac and bin/sparc/native_threads/javac (Solaris SPARC) * * lib/tools.jar (all platforms) * * * * These files include the Java 2 SDK tools classes, including * * the classes for the "javac" compiler. * * * * Additionally, on Microsoft Windows platforms it is now * * permissible to redistribute the Java HotSpot Server VM (also * * known as "C2") with the Microsoft Windows version of the * * JRE. (C2 is already included with the JREs for Linux and the * * Solaris(TM) operating environment.)
