You're probably better off using a free Java VM, e.g.
jamvm
sablevm
gij
cacao
kaffe
and compiler, e.g.
gcj
jikes
on powerpc linux. Recent versions of these have very good 1.4 coverage.
If you simply can't stand the free goodness, I suggest looking at IBM's
powerpc linux JSDK. Sun doesn't distribute Java for this architecture.
