Could you please explain what shared libs have to do with Java packages here?

What do you mean by .so files being shipped separately? Don't Java packages
just come with either:

1. jar files that consist of bundled-up .class files, or
2. binaries built with GCJ that link with the libgcj already on your system?

Since JPP packages are JVM-agnostic, then wouldn't that rule out #2
above for JPP packages?

Thanks,
