The Blackdown Java-Linux Team is happy to announce the availability of
the release candidate 1 of Java2 SE v1.3 and Debian packages for Java2
SE v1.3, Java3D 1.2 and JAI 1.0.2.
  

Java2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 RC1
======================================

Don't confuse the Blackdown RC1 with Sun's RC1, our version is indeed
based on Sun's 1.3-FCS code.

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:

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.  If you are a Java Community Process member please
take the time to vote.  If you have issues that you would like
represented at the JCP EC, please contact the Caldera representative.
