Don't know. What you should do is open a bug against sparc requesting |
14 |
that the sources you are interested be wrapped in an ebuild which would |
15 |
support a version of java which would be acceptable to you. If you |
16 |
generate a bug like that, someone --- maybe me --- would at least look |
17 |
at it. |

Don't pursue blackdown; sun's product seems to be superior. |
