Result: I downloaded the .bin (self-extracting shell
archive) file from javasoft.com and put everything under
/usr/local/java/ (not 100% FHS, I think?), added the bin
directory to PATH in /etc/profile and set some links under
/etc/alternatives/. I had also to install some old
libstdc++. It would be useful to see a .deb package of
JDK1.4, be it by Blackdown or by Javasoft. Much better
would be a free Java, so that it could go in main. Bye!
