A ulimit datasize of 131072 (128K) is too small; crank to 262144 (256K).
(Whilst 132096 (129K) does work for simple tests, it's better to be
conservative and suggest something that should work most of the time...)
1. plain wrong (setting it to that will just cause compiles to explode in
interesting ways as that's source, not .class files)
2. Not needed as it can infer the default CLASSPATH from JAVA_HOME
to Sun's 1.4.2_02). This is done even though we are in a freeze since
older distfiles disappear and a security vulnerability in older versions
might make people update.

-current kernel from at least 2003-08-09. Previous 1.4.1 versions
never really worked all that well and needed special kernel options
as well as a -current kernel from that date, so updating to 1.4.2
is better than keeping both.

Create a symlink from ${JAVA_HOME} to ${JAVA_HOME}/jre so that the proper
JDK hierarchy is found. This addresses PR 20269 by Todd Vierling
<tv at pobox dot com>. This makes misc/openoffice-linux find the Java2
installation again.
Sun for JDK 1.4.1. Pkgsrc changes include noting that some of the installed
files are config files and using bsd.pkg.install.mk to handle the file
copying and directory handling, and using a more scalable method to remove
files shared between the JRE and JDK during the JDK installation. Also,
the JDK 1.4.x series are now installed into ${LOCALBASE}/java/sun-1.4 so
that future updates of this package won't require a new JDK directory.
This closes PR 19853 by FUKAUMI Naoki <naoki at fukaumi.org>.
subdirectories under ${PREFIX}/java/ -- Change VI of many.
Thus install this JDK into ${PREFIX}/java/sun-1.4.0 and remove
CONFLICTS with other JDKs/JREs. Rename package from sun-jdk-1.4.0
to sun-jdk14-0 (avoids conflict with sun-jre13).
Pull in common stuff by including lang/sun-jre14/Makefile.common.
Extend MESSAGE and finally bump PKGREVISION.
This JDK is functional only on NetBSD-1.5Z[A-Z]-i386, NetBSD-1.[6-9]-i386
and Linux-*-i386, thus no upgrade of pksrc/lang/sun-jre13.
Changes over sun-jre13 are too many to list here, please see
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/relnotes.html for details.
