AFAIK the 64-bits SPARC parts are introduced in Java 2 v1.4 so I'ld think you're oout of luck there. > I did not think sun released a version of 1.3 for sparc/linux...that They don't, but since they've recently said they're looking into supporting linux... hopefully they'll support Blackdown a bit more on the sparc port. > on the other hand, Blackdown has a 1.2.2 version for sparc/linux: > > http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/jdk1.2-status/ There is a 1.3.0 FCS version. Not mentioned on their website, but downloadable through their mirrors as a tar.bz2 IIRC, no deb. The plugin for mozilla is not functional though. And the fix (as promised somewhere last october) is not yet in. :( > but I don't think it is 64bit.

Although their official release seems quite old, you can get quite a recent verson out of their cvs. There's even someone working on a deb with a cvs-version, it's not yet in testing due to autobuilding problems on sparc though :( :( regards, Thomas -- There are only two means by which men can deal with one another: guns or logic.
