The foundation has very little to do with development. |

Last I heard, the last version of java that worked on sparc was blackdown 1.4.2 |
15 |
(or something like that), but it had a security bug. If java on sparc is really |
16 |
important to you, then you probably need to run Solaris. Alternatively, you can |
17 |
convince the blackdown guys (or one of the other JRE/JDK providers) to do |
18 |
another sparc release. |
