New IRC channel: #debian-java @ freenode
Hi, As there formerly was no irc channel apt for discussion of all kinds of java-packaging-for-debian stuff, like JavaInMain, kaffe, sablevm, java-package and all that that is related, I created #debian-java at irc.debian.org (== freenode). The channel is intended for packaging efforts, not for user support. I hope this will be a useful channel to improve cooperation and the general packaging of anything java-related in Debian. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl

I don't think Sun supports their JVM on sparc-linux, so you're out of luck, afaict, if Blackdown hasn't got a port for it. You could try to run the app with kaffe, jamvm, sablevm, gij, ikvm, or another free runtime packaged for debian. Chances are they are able to run your app, as long as it doesn't use one of the missing features in the class library that are not implemented yet. They support the majority of 1.4, though. Help implementing what's missing is welcome, as well as bug reports. cheers, dalibor topic
