Re: IBM Java SDK 1.4.1



Hi,

Possibly?  The Blackdown JDK source does not come with any JIT sources but it 
does come with Hotspot sources but not for PPC.

Would someone like me be considered "contaminated" even if there is no JIT 
being used (or Hotspot for that matter) for PPC since I have seen the built 
the Sun sourcecode as part of Blackdown?  What if I just stick to the ppc 
assembler part?
