| Unfortunately Sun doesn't have a JDK for Linux on a Sparc, only x86. |

I thought as much....
Anyway to have another box (i.e. a Linux x86 platform) build out a Sparc64 jdk ?
I am attempting to grap the Solaris 32 bit jdk, and get that working via the kernel's Solaris binary execution... maybe if that will work I can build fromt there....
It prolly wont work since Sun never makes anything easy... |

| You should be able to build the blackdown jdk. It's in portage, and the 1.4.1 version is a build from source version rather than a binary distribution. |

Is Blackdown any good? Is it as good as Sun's? Actually I don't even know if Sun's is any good...
I am particularly interested if blackdown works with SunOne Studio (Forte). |

Blackdown is working for me nicely, at least it is running what my developers have written... so far.. LoL 
All I saw in portage was the 1.3.1-r7.. Though I downloaded 1.4.1 from the blackdown site (binary). I would prefer a build from source tho.... |

To build the 1.4.1 Blackdown jdk from source, which is currently masked, you will need to use: | Code: | | # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~sparc" emerge blackdown-jdk |
