Its stable amd64 version (SR3) is no longer availa= ble=20 from the "Older Downloads" section. It shows up initially, but when you=20 actually sign in and get to the page where you select your download with a= =20 radio button, SR3 is no longer present. However its ~amd64 version (SR4) i= s,=20 and is still generation 1. Is that just as feasible? --Geoff Mishkin On Thursday 29 June 2006 17:08, Joshua Nichols wrote: > Calvin Austin wrote: > > The blackdown 1.4.2 JDK has most of the Sun Java 5 amd64 changes, > > however I would strongly recommend Miroslav that you don't use 1.4.2 > > for amd64 bit.
