Is it possible to install sun-jdk on the linux sparc64 system ? I am running an E220.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately Sun doesn't have a JDK for Linux on a Sparc, only x86.

I thought as much....

Anyway to have another box (i.e. a Linux x86 platform) build out a Sparc64 jdk ?

I am attempting to grap the Solaris 32 bit jdk, and get that working via the kernel's Solaris binary execution... maybe if that will work I can build fromt there....

It prolly wont work since Sun never makes anything easy...

You should be able to build the blackdown jdk. It's in portage, and the 1.4.1 version is a build from source version rather than a binary distribution.

Is Blackdown any good? Is it as good as Sun's? Actually I don't even know if Sun's is any good...
I am particularly interested if blackdown works with SunOne Studio (Forte).

Blackdown is working for me nicely, at least it is running what my developers have written... so far.. LoL ;)

All I saw in portage was the 1.3.1-r7.. Though I downloaded 1.4.1 from the blackdown site (binary). I would prefer a build from source tho....

To build the 1.4.1 Blackdown jdk from source, which is currently masked, you will need to use:
Code:
# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~sparc" emerge blackdown-jdk
