The ticket #8291 "Ebuild for sun-jdk-1.4.1" has been assigned to mkennedy; |
| 8 |
he'll most likely solve this when more critical issues have been attended |
| 9 |
to. |

The reason why the sun-jdk-1.4.1 hasn't been included is simply because |
| 12 |
nobody has gotten around to it yet. |

It should however be some consolation to the Java geeks around that the |
| 15 |
blackdown-jdk-1.4.1_beta is available for testing on the x86 platform. Go |
| 16 |
play with it and report back bugs and help the Blackdown team as much as |
| 17 |
you can. |

We default to Blackdown whenever possible, as it can be downloaded freely |
| 20 |
off the net, and mirrored too, unlike the Sun binaries. |
