Good idea, but a heads-up; with Classpath, I found that a patch was 
necessary to fix Awt fonts, and Swing which uses them extensively:

http://cygwin-ports.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cygwin-ports/ports/trunk/java/classpath/0.98-awt.patch

Yes, the reason being that other packages which provide JDK-compatible 
commands don't provide *all* of them; e.g. gcj is not command-line 
compatible with 'javac', fastjar is just 'jar', classpath doesn't 
provide a 'java' but jamvm/cacao do; jdk6-langtools provides only 
compilers, etc.

BTW, gjavah and the other tools are going to work in the next release, 
right?

Append their basenames to SRC_URI and dobin in src_install.
