Sun's JDK isn't exactly DFSG and Blackdown and IBM's version have similar
problems. Currently they're even impossible to include in the non-free
section due to some legal issues[0].

However, thanks to the work of Stephen Zander we're able to include a line
in sources.list. J2SDK 1.4 is currently a blackdown betaversion; IIRC it's
in the unstable-archive on the blackdown-mirrors (see blackdown.org for
mirrors). Only available for i386, PPC and Sparc AFAIK.

regards,
Thomas

removal of non-free from debian alltogether I heard.

The long story was already mentioned.  I'll just add that adding

  deb http://mirror.of.blackdown.org/pub/debian/ unstable main non-free

to /etc/apt/souces.list, followed by

  apt-get update
  apt-get install j2sdk1.4

will get you what you want.

I guess, based on the dependancy on libc6 2.3.1-1 or better, I'm going 
to have to upgrade to unstable to get this work? I'm using sarge 
currently. Is it worth it?

Unless 1.3.1 doesn't meet your needs, I'd say no.  However, when libc6
2.3.1 finally makes it into testing you'lll have to upgade anyway as
j2se < 1.4 don't work with it.

The current 1.4.1 build requires glibc-2.1.3 or better, so the
dependency probably should be changed.  (The next release will require
glibc-2.2.5 or better.)

You would :P

Seriously, though, are you suggesting that j2sdk1.4 is worth taking on
the excitement that is the libc6 2.3.1 upgrede?
