Hi Ben,The old JDK is the one I use with OOo. I know that work is still ongoing at Blackdown for PPC Linux since Sun expressed some interest in it recently (but not enough to actually find me to do it) so I have pretty much given up on it. Frankly I use the IBM jdk 1.4.1 for almost everything. Unfortunately, the damn OOo source code requires a "Sun" style JDK layout.
I recently had to fix OOo so it would work on the MacOSX JDK and now that I am familiar with the code I can do the same for IBM's JDK.
They are actually very very close. In fact, you can actually use symlinks to fool OOo to accept the IBM JDK and then go ahead and use it.
Once I reboot into PPC Linux I will dig up what symlinks I added and send them to you and you can use them temporarily until I get the source changes in the OOo tree.

The Blackdown JDK is also recommended for full use.Hi Kevin ! Is there a recent Blackdown JDK for PPC, or are we still stuck at 1.3 ? Does it have a working JIT nowadays ? I've been using the IBM one lately for my (few) Java needs... Ben.
