Most of the OpenVMS stuff of that era should be available within the HP 
FTP server archives.

There's lots of DEC-related stuff in those archives as well, including 
Alpha SRM firmware kits, etc.

The two main areas in the HP FTP server archives (for OpenVMS stuff) 
are the OpenVMS path and the Alpha path, though Java was elsewhere 
(gsy?) as it was organizationally part of some cross-platform effort.

Scrounge up the Java kit name from around here (maybe 
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/gsy/digital/ ?), and use that as a search string 
in the archives.

One set of HP FTP server archives are here: 
https://archive.org/details/ftp-ftp.hp.com_ftp1

Java 5 will have issues with TLS connections, among other sorts of cruft.
