Uh... what do you mean by "is out"? I've just checked Javasoft and the
current releases for Win32 and Solaris still seem to be 1.2.0 and 1.1.7.

I second that, I think 1.2 will eventually be optimized etc but it's good to
have choice of the slimmer 1.1 when you don't need 1.2 stuff. BGut it's
easy to demand other people to work; do Sun has plans to open the source
code of 1.1.x too, so more people could contribute in porting? Now that 1.2
source is available, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to not put 1.1 in
the community license too.
