Conrad:

The JRE has other JAR files that go with it (rt.jar for one).  When
JBuilder 1.x was shipped, they didn't exist for JDK 1.1.2+.  If you
pull a JRE for JDK 1.1.3 you should have all the pieces that are
needed (aside from your own classes in your own Jar and any jbcl
stuff, etc.).

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.
