Subject: Announcing: Sun JDK 1.1.7 V1 Port to Linux on PowerPC

Announcing: JDK 1.1.7 for MkLinux, Linux-PMac, and LinuxPPC

New in this Port
----------------
* This is our v1 port of Sun's JDK 1.1.7 final.
    - includes numerous bug fixes direct from Sun
    - fix for kernel accept() bug, caused slow Java Web Server
         - turn-off by: export JDK_NO_KERNEL_FIX=true


Also Newly Available on this Site
---------------------------------
* HotJava Browser 1.1.5
* Sun's Java Demos
* Metrowerks JIT Compiler dated 981013
   - fixes bug with link errors when JNI native code used
   - fixes bug with LSUB L2D sequence register allocation errors
   - now released under Metrowerks Non-Commercial License


Special thanks goes to Juergen Kreileder (Blackdown x86 Porting Team)
for almost all of the work to get the 1.1.6 diffs to work on 1.1.7 
with no regressions!

And thanks, of course, go to the Blackdown Porters in general
for all of their valuable work in porting the JDK to all flavors 
of Linux.


*************************************************************
* NOTE: In keeping with the Metrowerks binary license, the  *
* Metrowerks JIT is not longer shipped with the JDK and     *
* therefore is NOT installed by default.  To use the JIT    *
* with the JDK please download the Metrowerks JIT binary    *
* archive and follow the instructions in the README.        *
*************************************************************

* This port was developed under Sun's non-commercial license agreement.

We hope you enjoy the numerous improvements available in JDK 117.
We will continue to work to both improve the port and fix bugs.

Thanks,

Your Blackdown Java-Linux JDK Porting Team for PowerPC
