[BTW -- does this list have a FAQ anywhere for these obvious and easy questions?] [BTW #2 -- this email is much better suited to debian-user. debian-java is only for people interested in making java work on Debian, not about using java on Debian.] Not Free: Sun's JDK is by far the most complete and most useful. BlackDown has a port of Sun's JDK -- I do not know their relationship to the Linux Java JDK Sun makes available. Same thing? Free: FSF's GCJ seems to be making good progress. kaffe has its supporters. I think there are more projects out there trying to support Java in a free platform. Many of them rely upon FSF's Classpath project, which is reimplementing the java.* heirarchy from the ground up. I hope this helps. -- Earthlink: The #1 provider of unsolicited bulk email to the Internet.
