Hrmm,I seem to be having some serious trouble with the website to get the
j2sdk stuff. Is there an alternative site or something that I can get this
package with out running in circles and not getting anywhere? It appears as
if this site  is using java script, which is making it so that those who use
lynx can't exactly get it. For example, once I get through the license
agreement, I can't figure out where to go from there at all.
