OK, this is an interesting twist...  I'm running the 2.99 beta, and in
addition to a huge number of other advancements, I've discovered that
there is a copy of both a 1.4.2 jre, but there is also a version of the
Eclipse java compiler.  I've only tested it on a couple really simple
classes, but it seems to be working!!

I'm still interested in following the Blackdown java, but this seems to
scratch the immediate itch, and it's even a slightly newer version
(1.4.2 vs. 1.4.1).
