Note that we at Sun do not provide "The JDK" for SPARC+Linux. For some |
| 26 |
reason the only SPARC port we provide runs on Solaris ;-) fancy that. |
| 27 |
After we finish open sourcing the openjdk project I imagine more headway |
| 28 |
could be made to supporting the openjdk on other architecture/OS |
| 29 |
combinations than we provide from Sun. Unfortunately that doesn't help |
| 30 |
you today. |
