Hi, I'm currrently doing my masters thesis on concurrent paradigms in Java, and naturally I'm very interested in the fact that the linux port now has native thread support. Sadly, however, I've only got the jdk 1.1.6 source, and I'm finding it very difficult to get in touch with someone at sun so that I can get a copy of 1.1.7. Is it possible to patch the 1.1.6 jdk with the 1.1.7 patches (given that I don't mind messing around a bit), or have there been too many changes between 1.1.6 and 1.1.7? Alternatively, has there been any work done on retrofitting the native thread support to the 1.1.6 jdk? Thanks, Toby.
