Arnaud,
~ Many of us are eager for the free runtimes to catch up (and
beginning to get involved), but if you need to do many of the tasks a
typical Java developer would need, i.e. to run Eclipse to work on a J2EE
project, a full-blown 1.4 JDK is a necessity. I had posted a question
similar to this about making a dummy package for PPC on the debian-java
list[0] on December 12th.
~ With the recent flurry of posts about the need to use the IBM JDK,
wouldn't it make sense to enhance java-package to provide an option for
PPC folks, even it is a "bridge technology" of sorts while free java
catches up?
