Yes, OpenJDK exists for Java 8. To get a 32-bit version you'll have to build it yourself or get your distro supplier to do so. I tried this myself (I ship the 64-bit version anyway) and there's a 32-bit target, so I tried that. It starts out looking fine, but there's a coredump late on so the build fails. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
