JAVA is provided by j2sdk or j2sdk-bin, both in the z-rejected grimoire.
scribe add z-rejected
This is coming up fairly regularly now, either it is not well documented on
the website that z-rejected exists, the documentation needs a listing of
spells in z-rejected grimoire, we really do need to sort out the
cross-grimoire dependencies, or I should just add z-rejected to the ISO and
all new systems will have it ?

There is a bug about this in bugzilla.
http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415
As far as I can tell, nothing has ever been started on it. I have just (2
weeks ago) taken over ISO/cauldron and am aware of it, but am certain I will
not have time to do anything soon. Anybody's help would be appreciated.
