hey, hey; this is in my opinion not true. blackdown java jre1.4.2 rc1 [&&}  
works excellent  under sarge on mozilla 1.7 and firefox.

do i here run into some traces of consumerism?  lazieness maybe? it is not so 
difficult to install a binair file in usr/local or wherever you want.  .. or 
look for the right compiler-version. ... or make a symbolic link. 

all it asks is some learning.
