Both the J2SDK 1.3 and the J2RE 1.3 include the Java Plug-In for Netscape 4.x and Mozilla (>= M17). Please note that the Mozilla Plug-In is work in progress: it's not complete and stable yet. Please choose one of our FTP mirrors for downloading: http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/mirrors.html Debian Packages =============== The following Debian packages are available from our mirrors: j2sdk1.3, j2re1.3, j2sdk1.3-doc-installer, java3d-sdk, java3d-re, jai-lib, jai-sample. To access the packages with APT please add a line like deb ftp://<mirror>/<path_to_blackdown_dir>/debian <dist> non-free (where <dist> is potato or woody) to /etc/apt/sources.list. E.g. to access the woody directory on ftp.tux.org you would use: deb ftp://ftp.tux.org/java/debian woody non-free RPM packages will be available soon. JCP Elections ============= The Sun Java Community Process is holding the elections for the Executive Committee. Caldera has been nominated for one of the positions and will be the representative for the Open Source and Linux community. Caldera is seeking support from the Open Source community in this election.
