If you or your firm needs a Java Developmnet Kit for PowerPC and if you have some time, please consider helping out the Blackdown porting team move forward and keep supporting other non-86 platforms. If at all interested, please contact Scott Hutinger at : srh@www.mprojects.wiu.edu I will be removing the current JDK for Linux PPC site soon (everything has been copied to www.linuxppc.org/java/) so nothing will be lost. I would also be happy to bring anyone who wants, up to speed on the build process, etc to help make sure PPC keeps its Java capability going for use with Mozilla and other projects. If anyone knows if IBM has or is considering an Open Source Java platform, I would be happy to help contribute to porting it to LinuxPPC. Please let me know. Unfortunately, kaffe has previously refused my help since I have seen the Sun source code. Also, if anyone needs a 40 something year old former PDP-8 and PDP-11 programmer with time on his hands to help out a *true* Open Source project, let me know... Thanks, Kevin -- Kevin B.
