Java2 Version 1.2.2 FCS:
========================

SDK, Runtime Environment, and Plug-In are available.  Please read
http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/jdk1.2-status/jdk1.2-status.html
for further information and requirements.


Java3D 1.2 FCS:
===============

For general information about J3D and documentation visit:

There are two J3D 1.2 variants:

  This variant is for installation with a Java2 SDK
  Installation:
        % cd <Java2 SDK Installation>
        % tar xvfI <downloadpath>/java3d1_2-FCS-linux-i386-sdk.tar.bz2
* java3d1_2-FCS-linux-i386-sdk.tar.bz2: Java3D 1.2 Runtime Environment
  This variant is for installation with a Java2 Runtime Environment

requirements:  

        http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/jdk1.2-status/README-3D12


Java Advanced Imaging 1.0.2 Beta:
=================================

For general information about JAI and documentation visit:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/index.html

The release consists of two files:
* jai1_0_2-beta-lib-linux-i386.tar.bz2: JAI runtime files
  Installation:
        % cd <Java2 SDK Installation>
        % tar xvfI <downloadpath>/jai1_0_2-beta-lib-linux-i386.tar.bz2
* jai1_0_2-beta-sample-linux.tar.bz2: JAI demos (optional)
  Installation:
        % cd <Java2 SDK Installation>
        % tar xvfI <downloadpath>/jai1_0_2-beta-sample-linux.tar.bz2

Note that this is a beta release.  The reason for this is a somewhat
unclear JCK situation: It looks like the JCK for JAI was written for
Java2 v1.2 and JAI 1.0.1 originally, this seems to cause a 2 failures
when testing JAI 1.0.2 with Java2 v1.2.2.

Please read the complete README file for further information and
requirements:

        http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/jdk1.2-status/README-JAI102



Soon to come:
=============
* Java2 v1.3 
* JMF
* Debian packages for Java2, the Java Plug-In, Java3D, JAI, JMF
